Caldy were crowned champions on 23 April 2022, following their final match of the season at home to runner-up Sale, beating them 13–9 in front of a club record attendance of 3,023. Next season they will be playing in the RFU Championship. Blackheath (14th position) and Tonbridge Juddians (15th) are relegated to National 2 East.[2]

Structure edit

The league initially consisted of sixteen teams, with all the teams playing each other on a home and away basis, to make a total of thirty matches each. Due to financial difficulties, Old Elthamians withdrew before the season started, reducing the league to fifteen teams.[3] There is one promotion place, with the champions promoted to the RFU Championship. As the Championship consisted of just eleven teams this season, a second promotion place would have become available if the winner of the Championship, Ealing Trailfinders were promoted to Premiership Rugby. However this will not be the case as they were ineligible for promotion.[4] There are usually three relegation places with the bottom three teams relegated to either National League 2 North or National League 2 South depending on the geographical location of the team. Due to Old Elthamians withdrawal, before the season started, there are only two relegation places.

The results of the matches contribute points to the league table as follows:

  • 4 points are awarded for a win
  • 2 points are awarded for a draw
  • 0 points are awarded for a loss, however
  • 1 losing (bonus) point is awarded to a team that loses a match by 7 points or fewer
  • 1 additional (bonus) point is awarded to a team scoring 4 tries or more in a match.
