From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2011–12 National League 2 North was the third season (twenty-fifth overall) of the fourth tier (north) of the English domestic rugby union competitions since the professionalised format of the second division was introduced. The league system was 4 points for a win, 2 points for a draw and additional bonus points being awarded for scoring 4 or more tries and/or losing within 7 points of the victorious team. In terms of promotion the league champions would go straight up into National League 1 while the runners up would have a one-game playoff against the runners up from National League 2 South (at the home ground of the club with the superior league record) for the final promotion place.
After two years of missing out on promotion via the playoffs, Loughborough Students went one better and won the league title outright, being easily the best side in the division and finishing 22 points clear of the rest of the pack to gain promotion to the 2012–13 National League 1 .[ 1] [ 2] Caldy eventually taking the runners up place just 1 point ahead of Preston Grasshoppers and Hull . Caldy's luck would run out in the promotion playoff, however, losing 20 - 13 away to 2011–12 National League 2 South runners up Richmond .[ 3] [ 4] Nuneaton's relegation, with the Nun's 10 victories being supplanted with just 6 bonus points.[ 5] [ 6] Harrogate who finished 1 point adrift of 13th placed Leicester Lions , with more wins than the Leicestershire side but not enough bonus points.[ 7] National League 3 North while Nuneaton would fall to National League 3 Midlands .[ 8] [ 9]
Participating teams and locations [ edit ] Twelve of the teams listed below participated in the 2010–11 National League 2 North season; Otley were relegated from the 2010–11 National League 1 , Bromsgrove (champions) and Sheffield Tigers (playoffs) would come up from National League 3 Midlands while Stockport were promoted as champions of National League 3 North .[ 10] [ 11] [ 12]
