N/E/W division

Anyone have an idea when the composition of the 3 divisions is going to be announced?

I would assume that, with 2 Northern teams and Esher relegated to level 4, the only changes would be

Esher replacing Blackheath in the East

Leeds and Hull into the North with one of last seasons North teams heading to the West.

I would assume we are probably looking at Chester?

Sounds simple but knowing the RFU there is probably a lot of discussion before any announcements

Thanks for the info

This is assuming  that Loughborough Students or Hinckley don't ask to go back to the north of course.

As Camquin states earlier. For Level 4 now the RFU presses it's "mileage" button and you go where you're sent. There's no such thing as returning to your "home" region and then having any options to "level transfer" or applying to join the league that suits you best

Accepted Lymm are slightly further north and east than Chester but Lymm are slap bang by the side of the M6 so Lymm might just be doing less Miles than Chester?? We'll find out pretty soon when "computer say................?" Then the arguments and protests will begin - all of which will be to no avail whichever of the two it turns out to be

And so Lymm it is for the West - Chester escape again - structure just released
