Officials of the Jennings Ribblesdale League have denied claims they
have been involved in discussions about becoming a feeder league to
the Northern League.
But officials from the two league's have met to discuss the
possibility of setting up an inter-league cup competition similar to
that already being contested between the Lancashire League and the
Central Lancashire League.
A statement issued by the Ribblesdale League said: "The Ribblesdale
Cricket League have never intimated or discussed the possibility of
becoming a feeder league to the Northern Cricket League in a Premier
League pyramid system.
"We did hold a meeting with Northern League officials back in December
when we discussed the possibility of setting up an inter-league cup
competition similar to that already being run between the Lancashire
League and the Central Lancashire League.
"But how the league progresses is very much in the hands of the clubs
themselves."
