Does anyone know how the N2S season will wrap up? League table shows that Leicester Lions, Canterbury, Hinckley & Rochford have played 29 games, and Guernsey 28. The site also shows [LINK] three games listed for next Sat (May 7th):
  • Gsy v Rochford 2pm
  • Lions v Gsy 2.30pm
  • Hinckley v Canterbury 3pm
Hence my 'does anyone know?' query... Confused

That is what is shown on the National League Rugby page. The BBC shows Leicester Lions v Guernsey and the other two postponed. I heard nothing  at Rochford yesterday about a trip to Guernsey, they seemed to be treating yesterday as the end of the season.

Leicester Lions social media confirms game v Gsy is on this Sat. NCA site states other N2S games are off (as well as Hudds v Stour in N2N)

Are you thinking of National Cup in March 2000 when Cambridge lost at Hull Ionians?

I understand that you will be getting a trip to Hellfire Corner (The spiritual home of Cornish rugby) next season, whilst there is a lot of noise about travelling to the Duchy, most people/teams enjoy the atmosphere and hospitality (Tribute & a Pasty).

I enjoyed the game on Saturday and look forward to coming back next season, (not in the rain though).

Thanks for the heads up, I will keep an eye out.

Couldn't agree more with your view on Camquin's work

Camquin has posted the most likely composition of the 3 level 4 leagues for next year.

The SE has only one outlier, North Walsham, just hope the visit there is early or late season.

The SW division ends up having 7 south west sides and 7 Midlands sides which sort of works - the outlier being Redruth (as usual - but they cannot help that)

The North section retains Chester which is just as well IMO.

How long we have to wait for the powers that be to agree the final composition is anyone's guess.

Guernsey programme stated the game against Worthing on Saturday was their last home game of the season, they are away at Leicester Lions next Saturday. No mention of playing Rochford

A quick play with Google Maps:

Hinckley to Worthing is 160 miles and takes 3 hours 20 minutes;
Hinckley to Redruth is 285 miles and takes 4 hours 37 minutes.

That shows the time problem of getting round London.

Thanks for that Camquin......i hope you are correct.  A failure of geographic imagination on my part.....I look at the map and struggle to see the Midlands as part of the South West.  I guess that the motorway connections make the travel overhead less onerous than it appears from the map.

Does anyone know if we have a date yet for when the composition of the new leagues will be officially published ?

I have been trying to get my head around it again and have made little progress.
I had thought that Guernsey would go SW, but I cannot get 14 teams into a SE division without them.
So it seems SE division might comprise:
North Walsham
Sevenoaks
Dorking
TJ's
Blackheath
Barnes
Canterbury
BSE
Westcliff
Rochford
Worthing
Henley
OA's
Guernsey
??

But this would mean that of the existing NatS incumbents, only 4 go west......Clifton, Redruth, Barum and Dings.
Does that mean that both Lions AND Hinckley have to go West as well ?
 Even if that is the case, there are still only 6 teams ?  Where do the other 8 come from ?  I imagine there will be 3 level 5 clubs......but still an significant  apparent shortfall ?

Confused of Sussex

Esher have been there before, and in the Championship and the old National 1.
So it is not as though they are a fresh young club.
But it is good to have them back.

As far as I am aware, Hull are up at level 3 for the first time ever.

Could either do a Caldy, mind you, that was Caldy's second attempt.

Well done Esher and congratulations on your promotion. I hope you make it stick next year and shake em up in national 1. 
Commiserations to Redruth Clifton and of course Worthing all of whom were outstanding.
