Chew Valley (38pts, 7 wins) from R1TSW look to have clinched the reprieve for the six sides placed 11th, getting 5pts yesterday and having one win more than Percy Pk (NE). Silhillians (36), Brighton & Harpenden (both 35) & Stoke (34) also missed out... (tho' this isn't official).

Well done too to Champions/promoted sides Rossendale, Skiwifruitpineapplegrapefruitthorpe Confused, Syston, Oundle, London Welsh & Barnstaple...

Looking forward to it, but there’s no guarantee that Scottish will replace Welsh in R1SC. It may be that we end up in R1SE. Up to the powers-that-be to decide once they’ve got their maps and calculators out.

Given they play at Civil Service (I understand), I think it is logical that it will be a straight swap. I think the fact Medway instead of Beckenham got promoted from SE means there probably won't be any unexpected surprises.

It's the stage of the season where we all wonder who might be in which league etc... and the authorities urge us to not make assumptions/plans/please be patient etc...

I agree Robb, on the face of it, we could have 3 out of R1SC (Welsh upwards, Brighton & Horsham downwards) replaced 'like-for-like' by Worthing (from N2) Farnham (2SC) & Scottish (2Thames).

BUT... R1SW seems to have too many potential clubs, with Ivybridge down, Chew Valley earning the reprieve and 3 SW teams coming up: Topsham (2SW), Drybrook (2Severn) and Newent 2MidsW), while Barnstaple swap with Devonport. I make that 14 clubs, so 2 would have to shift across to R1SC (which would then itself have too many) or perhaps R1Mids.

There may be knock-on permutations/complications further north as well, with - for example - some remaining uncertainty about who will finish bottom of N2N and claim the only relegation place, currently there are 5 teams up there at risk, with last games not for another 3 weeks...

Above thoughts entirely unofficial & liable to be wrong/shot down. Informed by the key spreadsheet at https://www.rfulondon.com/forms/prom.pdf

I remember a very strong Marlborough side playing at L6 in Regional 2 SC a few years ago. Upon being promoted they shifted across to Regional 1 SW so perhaps they could come back across to R1 SC again. They've certainly had some long trips down to Devon and Cornwall.
