From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2013–14 National League 2 South was the fifth season (27th overall) of the fourth tier (south) 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 North (at the home ground of the club with the superior league record) for the final promotion place. After an absence of several years, the Cornwall Super Cup returned in a new format with the two league matches between the Cornish sides Launceston and Redruth also counting towards the cup.
Hartpury College , as champions, were promoted to the third tier (2014–15 National League 1 ) for next season. League runners-up, Ampthill , lost the annual play–off against the 2013–14 National League 2 North runners up, Darlington Mowden Park 30 – 28. London Irish Wild Geese were demoted to National League 3 London & SE , and Bournemouth and Exmouth were both relegated to National League 3 South West . Finally, the Cornish Super Cup was won by Launceston who defeated Redruth via an aggregate score of 39 - 28.[ 1] [ 2]
Participating teams [ edit ]
Eleven of the teams listed below participated in the 2012–13 National League 2 South season. Cambridge were relegated from National League 1; London Irish and Exmouth were promoted from National League 3 South West; Bishop's Stortford were promoted from National League 3 London & SE; Ampthill were promoted from National League 3 Midlands and were then level transferred from National League 2 North (where they would normally have expected to play) due to an imbalance in the number of teams in the two fourth tier leagues.[ 3]

Each season, the runners–up in the National League 2 South and National League 2 North participate in a play–off for promotion into National Division 1. Darlington Mowden Park were runners-up in the 2013–14 National League 2 North and as they had a better record than the South runners-up, Ampthill , they hosted the play–off match.[ 4] [ 5] [ 6] The game was played on 3 May 2014 at The Northern Echo Arena and finished 25 – 25 after normal time, so went to two 10-minute periods of extra time. The game was won with a try scored by DMP in the 3rd minute of added on time. As a result, they will play in National League 1 in the 2014–15 season for the first time.[ 7]
