| It is not inconceivable that a team in 6th or 7th could still finish 3 or even 2nd here !! |

looking at the fixtures I think Hinckley could make the play off position .The 3 relegation place is very tight , looking at the fixtures Otleys look slightly tougher than Huddesfields.
------------- is it stours year yet |

12 Points separating 6th place and relegation.....Maybe next year is Stour's year!!! That said... 23 points separating 6th and second.....whoever that is in 6th !!! Add to that the next 5 games being against teams below them....whoever that is in 6th ? |

Hinckley had a very poor start to the campaign and now have found some good form, there is a great feeling through the club as the 2s are enjoying another superb season also, this helps massively for selection as competition for places is always in the back of players minds. Saying this though how many teams in this league could survive let alone compete in the league above ? Its a very big step. Hopefully Hinckley can continue their fantastic run and push the top 3 all the way as 2 huge wins over last few weekends show how far the team has come! Up the Hornets

Still hoping Leicester Lions can nick the runner spot in Nat2S, but looking a big ask to be honest. Some talk that next season may see two sides required from Nat2N to level transfer south if the relegations from Nat1 remain as they are now, that could be interesting...…………... |

Bournville could be likely candidates then ------------- "Animo concipere non possum quo palto hoc pervease exeat." |

| Pretty sure promoted and demoted sides are not in the mix for level transfer, more likely Stour or Hinckley...……………….or both if Leicester Lions want back in the North next year should they not be promoted(which is unlikely). |

Promoted sides absolutely 100% are in the firing line for level transfer. Promoted sides have actually been the most common going south from N2N - Hinckley in 2010, Broadstreet in 2016 plus B and S last season. The RFU pick on them first as they're less likely to kick up a fuss - they're just happy to be going up. I'd assume that Lions will go back north - in fact I'd bet a good bit on it - which will almost certainly mean 2 going south. For me, it'll be between, in order: Bournville (assuming they've won Midlands Premier) Hinckley (only got away with not going this season on some archaic unheard of rule) Stourbridge (never seem to be mentioned because of their strong RFU/NCA connections - but should be) However also in the running never but never are....... Luctonians - the furthest south by some way, assuming they can stay up Moseley may come into the mix as well if they get relegated. Or is the big RFU restructure kicking in? That could change a lot of things Fascinating. Let's see |

I think the reshuffle is on ice until Saracens are safely back in the Premiership. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |
