Midlands 2 West (North)

January 01, 1970

Midlands 2 West (North) is a level 7 English Rugby Union league and level 2 of the Midlands League, made up of clubs from the northern part of the West Midlands region including Shropshire, Staffordshire, parts of Birmingham and the West Midlands and occasionally Cheshire, with home and away matches played throughout the season. When this division began in 1992 it was known as Midlands West 1, until it was split into two regional divisions called Midlands 3 West (North) and Midlands 3 West (South) ahead of the 2000–01 season. Further restructuring of the Midlands leagues ahead of the 2009–10 season, lead to the current name of Midlands 2 West (North).

Demoted teams typically drop to Midlands 3 West (North). Each year all clubs in the division also take part in the RFU Intermediate Cup - a level 7 national competition.

  2. ^ Old Boys side of Leamington College.[1]
  3. ^ Formed as Old Boys side of Longton High School, Old Longtonians would be renamed as Longton Rugby Club in 1994.[2]
  4. ^ Old Boys side of Yardley Grammar School.
  5. ^ Midlands West 2 is currently split into two regional divisions - Midlands 4 West (North) and Midlands 4 West (South).
  6. ^ Due to the cancellation of National 5 North at the end of the season, five clubs were promoted including Kenilworth, Bromsgrove and Old Laurentians.
  7. ^ Due to widespread restructuring caused by the cancellation of National 5 North there was no relegation.
  8. ^ Due to the restructuring of the Midlands leagues for the following season, there was no relegation.
  9. ^ Ahead of the 2000–01 Midlands West 2 was also split into two regional leagues - Midlands 4 West (North) and Midlands 4 West (South).
  10. ^ Due to the RFU restructuring the league system for the 2009-10 season, runners up Bournville were automatically promoted as one of the two best runners up of the four Midlands 3 divisions, meaning they did not have to face a playoff.
  11. ^ The 2008-09 promotion playoffs were different as the RFU was reorganizing the leagues across the country including the Midlands division. Usually the winners of each of the four regional divisions would go up automatically along with two of the runners up who won their respective playoffs, meaning 6 teams were promoted. This year one extra was required to be promoted so the top two runners up by league points - Bourneville (40) and Stewarts & Lloyds (40) went up - leaving the other two runners up - Nuneaton Old Edwardians (34) and Spalding (38) - to compete for the final promotion spot.[17]

would be renamed as Longton Rugby Club in 1994 2 Old Boys side of Yardley Grammar School Midlands West 2 is currently split into two regional divisions Midlands 4 West North and Midlands 4 West South Due to the cancellation of National 5 North at the end of the season five clubs were promoted including Kenilworth Bromsgrove and Old Laurentians Due to widespread restructuring caused by the cancellation of National 5 North there was no relegation Due to the restructuring of the Midlands leagues for the following season there was no relegation Ahead of the 2000 01 Midlands West 2 was also split into two regional leagues Midlands 4 West North and Midlands 4 West South Due to the RFU restructuring the league system for the 2009 10 season runners up Bournville were automatically promoted as one of the two best runners up of the four Midlands 3 divisions meaning they did not have to face a playoff The 2008 09 promotion playoffs were different as the RFU was reorganizing the leagues across the country including the Midlands division Usually the winners of each of the four regional divisions would go up automatically along with two of the runners up who won their respective playoffs meaning 6 teams were promoted This year one extra was required to be promoted so the top two runners up by league points Bourneville 40 and Stewarts amp Lloyds 40 went up leaving the other two runners up Nuneaton Old Edwardians 34 and Spalding 38 to compete for the final promotion spot 17 Moseley Oak s title was when league was single division known as Midlands West 1 and club was known
