The '''Yorkshire & Humber Merit League''' is a [[rugby league]] competition for clubs in [[Yorkshire and the Humber]]. It is a feeder league for the [[Rugby League Conference]]. |
|||
==History== |
|||
{{main|History of the Midlands Merit League}} |
|||
The [[Rugby League Merit League|Midlands Merit League]] was founded in late 2005 to support the growth of rugby league in non-heartland areas. Originally intended as a stand-alone league, support from the [[Rugby Football League]] meant that it could be administered as part of the [[Rugby League Conference]] organisation. Interest quickly gathered with 13 teams looking to participate in the inaugural season - eight eventually participated. The first game took place on 8 April 2006 at All Saints Sports College, [[Sheffield]], where the [[Sheffield Forgers]] beat the Chesterfield Spires by 58 points to 8. |
|||
The league was renamed [[Rugby League Merit League]] (RLML) for the 2008 season due to its increased geographical spread with teams from the [[North of England]] taking part. 2009 saw the largest ever entry, with over 30 teams split into two leagues; "Yorkshire and Humber" and "North West" with the [[Midlands Rugby League]] becoming its own competition using merit league rules. |
|||
In 2010 the Yorkshire & Humber Merit League and [[North West Merit League]] became separate competitions. |
