Senior 'B' or Presidents Grade??

This is a question that has haunted the club for three seasons now with the Presidents grade struggling for teams / refs. the 2011 season seen 6 teams in Presidents grade with our team finishing third equal.  the presidents grade format suits our team as some players find it hard to commit to training. although if we want to ever win the competition we need to get serious about training.latest reports out of the SCRFU are that including Pareora their will be Seven teams at Presidents next season. With there being rumors of a team from temuka  rejoining the comp and possibly a third team from north otago. As long as their is a minimum of 5 opposition teams their is no reason for the team to go to senior 'b' as their will still be good competition for us at presidents. there is now a proper committee in place and the 5 year plan  is to have a team in both Presidents Grade and Senior B team
