The Saturday League has gone completely which consisted of three divisions.
The Dudley and Cradley League I played in in the 80’s is now defunct......that was eight divisions during my time.
It seems that once kids pass 16 they no longer have the desire to play at this level.
How sad.
As I was driving down the Thorns Road last week I noticed there were no longer and goals up on the pitches where there were once three pitches.
No wonder our nation is becoming fatter.......very few have the desire to break sweat anymore.
