OE's look like they are in Counties 3 Kent which looks like its one up from the bottom division.

Presentation skills somewhat lacking as well.
There's a reason black printing on a white background is considered the best way of presenting information. Obviously the RFU does not want to be inclusive of all. |

Yep, they withdrew from the leagues so they have to start right at the beginning in almost the lowest possible league and they didn't have a separate amateur club to skip the queue like London Welsh did.

On the whole, I don't think the outcomes are as bad as people feared.

HAC to Norwich and Tottonians to Shipston on Stour at L6 both stand out as tough journeys (and the reverse journeys).

Known our league for a few weeks now so there's been time for it to sink in, looking forward to several new clubs to visit and giving the endless trips round the M25 a bit of a swerve....anyway when do the fixtures come out!😂

I know this won't be applicable on many occasions, but it may be an idea to travel by train for some trips that are known to be awkward to get to by road. Advance tickets can be very cheap.

In London maybe it might be easy, but not necessarily for other places. Also, from a practical perspective how do you propose they get loads of tacklebags onto a train comfortably?

The tackle bags and kit go separately in a large car. As I said it may be impractical for most matches, but on some occasions it can actually work. Far better for the players sometimes to sit on a train for 2 or so hours than a coach for 3 ?

No information on promotion and relegation criteria from these new leagues?

Their geography is questionable on some of them. How can you put a team in west London in the SE leagues yet put a team in East Sussex in a league where they have to go to Wiltshire?

If I'm reading it right it looks like only two Nat 1(level 3) clubs have entered 2nd teams into the league structure. Cinderford and Taunton.
Cinderford 2s have been put into level 7 whilst Taunton 2s have been put into level 8?? Go figure why because I can't. The teams played 3 friendly matches last season and whilst all were very close, all were won by Taunton. So who made the decision to put them at level 8? Somerset or the RFU?

Counties 3 Midlands East South missing.
Looking forward to Regional 1 South East. A shame no cup for National 1 and 2, with Championship. |

Looking forward to new beginnings.

Earlier drafts had CS Stags in the South region and Bournemouth in SW. Brighton were always in South rather than SE. It seems Bournemouth have been shunted across, but not sure why that has pushed Stags over as opposed to Brighton. But those clubs on the boundaries are always most susceptible to a bad draw.

Really, the championship forum spends all its time derinding the championship cup - but you want a cup which involves the 3 levels below the Premiership. Good luck and hope you enjoy watching Championship teams posting over 100 points against N2 sides. |

Did nobody spot that Counties 1 Southern South has the same list of Clubs as Counties 1 Southern North?
And where is Hamepshire? It’s not difficult to get these things correct, is it? (Answers on a post)
