I think both sides are as guilty of not doing enough.

Interleague this year for the A team was certainly an anti climax after 2006's monumental efforts. This can be attributed to many things, but obviousley losing 5 or 6 players doesn't help.

It was always gonna be difficult. The team spirit was not as good, we lost pretty much all of our vocal players in you two boys and Cliff Mills, so straight away it was a lot quieter, a lot more subdue.
We then lost the ability of Tony Jackson, John Robinson, Wiggy aswell as you boys and all of a sudden it had the feel of a totally different side.

There is still a core of players who love this league and wear thier heart on thier sleeve, and want Croydon back competing for things.

The B team done brilliant this year in the end, but they started off very rocky let's not forget, think the captaincy changed 3 times in the first month. . .
Credit to the guys that stuck with it and saw it through, as they proved a credit to this league.

With reagards to promotion, a lot more can be done on both sides.
I think the Interleague teams need much more coverage. I don't mind doing all the updates every month with Danny & Sass's help, can hopefully get a dedicated section on this very website.

With Mark's permission, get said updates sent out with weekly results, and hopefully, get some kind of recognition at the annual presentation once again.

If we can get the Interleague firmly back on the agenda, I think the county stuff will naturally follow.
