Composition Of League Nearing Finalisation

With Luton RFC and Ampthill RFC both being Level Transferred (LTd) to National 3 London & South East, we now await a decision as to which National 3 North club will be LTd to complete National 3 Midlands for the 2011/12 season. The league will comprise: -

Apparently, the League Secretary has written to ALL Clubs in N3N seeking a volunteer to be LTd to N3M. It is said that without a volunteer club coming forward, a formula calculating distances which priortises motorway travel will be applied and that this will result in a close tie between Cheshire clubs Lymm RFC and Altincham Kersal RFC together with Manchester RC to decide which has the least mileage, if LTd to N3M.

There will be six new teams in the fourteen team league - three promoted from below, two relegated from above and one LTd from N3N.

A draft fixture list, including a club called TBA, has been issued for clubs to examine.  Any changes required will be incorporated by the expected fixture publication date in mid-June.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that Manchester Rugby Club will be the fourteenth team in N3M.
