I do not much about Div V. However having followed Div III and IV this past year, their playoffs will be exciting and maybe with some upsets!!!

A nightmare scenario for Plymouth!! You can throw out the records and the rosters when Plymouth matches up against Kennett and Laconia. Neither one of those teams fears Plymouth, and both stayed within a TD of them in their tilts this year (both in Plymouth). Two rivalry games in the playoffs is a scenario that most teams would hope to avoid. I am sure Lenahan was hoping for Hanover or MV, and seeing who out of Kennett or Laconia would win that (2 vs 3) slugfest. Instead they get the Kennett (and if they win), likely Laconia.
Huge Plymouth fan here but these matchups scare me. This is yet another reason why the Divisions need to be kept as is. You would lose these kinds of matchups that mean alot to people from those towns. Say Plymouth was bumped to D-II and were playing BG or Exeter in the first round of playoffs. There wouldn’t be nearly the same excitement on either end as playing your true rivals.
