By winning the league Jersey secured their third promotion in as many seasons, moving up to the 2012–13 RFU Championship.[5] They were also easily the most popular team in the division with over 33,000 fans attending the 15 home games held at St Peter - a National League 1 record.[6] At the opposite end of the table, Birmingham & Solihull and Stourbridge were relegated to the 2012–13 National League 2 North while Barking dropped down to the 2012–13 National League 2 South having been league runners up the previous season.[7][8]
