Coaches back 28-game league season
Tuesday 24th March 2009, 2:30PM GMT.
BRING on the games is the message from Mick Le Prevost, coach of the newly-crowned Priaulx champions.
Le Prevost welcomes the prospect of more Division One matches brought about by the addition of an eighth side into the league next season.
Last week, new club Athletics were accepted into the fold for next year, even though they don’t, as yet, have a player on their books.
This season the Priaulx League saw the seven top clubs play each other three times, which led to a total of 18 matches for each club.
One of the most vehement critics of the change was North boss Le Prevost, who wanted to switch back to 24 games a season.
But with Athletics added into the mix, there could be 21 matches a season, if the clubs play each other three times, or 28 if they meet four times, as was the case last season.
‘If it was down to me, I’d say play four times,’ said Le Prevost (pictured).
‘I’ve always said 18 isn’t enough. If we can play 28 times, let’s play 28 times. Our season finishes too early.’
Le Prevost said the current situation was not helping his side’s Upton Park Cup hopes.

Now they have let one team in with no players and lots of dreams, why can they not let 4 or 5 teams in e.g. Sark, Alderney, a few Sunday league teams straight into the first division.
I suppose with another team coached by the ex-island Manager then once Bels, Sylvans, North lose some of their players the league may become competitive.
As for comment re Rovers in the GP, please stick at it as with your Youth set up and facilities being one of, if not the best on the island, your time will come.
