2023–24 National League 2 West Countries England Date 2 September 2023 – 27 April 2024 Champions Dings Crusaders (1st title)Relegated Dudley Kingswinford , Newport (Salop) Matches played 182 Attendance 76,052 Highest attendance 2,850 – Redruth v Camborne, 16 December 2023 Lowest attendance 67 – Exeter University v Camborne, 6 April 2024 Tries scored 1534 Top point scorer 155 – Ben Priddey (Camborne) Top try scorer 31 – Ben Priddey (Camborne)
The 2023–24 National League 2 West is the second season of the fourth-tier (west) of the English domestic rugby union competitions; one of three at this level. The others are National League 2 East and National League 2 North . The champions are promoted to National League 1 and the bottom two teams are relegated to either Regional 1 Midlands or Regional 1 South West , depending on their location.
Dings Crusaders were crowned champions on 13 April 2024 with a game still left to play, following their resounding win over Redruth .[1] Luctonians had set the pace for much of the season but a defeat against Dings at home on 24 February 2024 would see a turn in fortunes, and in the end Dings would finish 7 points clear.
On 13 April 2024 both Dudley Kingswinford and Newport (Salop) were relegated, as it was mathematically impossible for either to stay up following their results, even as the best placed 13th placed side in the National 2 leagues (see Structure section below). Despite relegation Newport (Salop) finished the season much stronger and ended 11 points clear of bottom club Dudley Kingswinford, albeit 19 points adrift of 12th Hornets . Both sides would both drop down to Regional 1 Midlands - Dudley making an instant return to league they won last year and Newport after an absence of two seasons.
Structure [ edit ] The league consists of fourteen teams who play the others on a home and away basis, to make a total of 26 matches each. The champions are promoted to National League 1 and typically the bottom two teams are relegated to either Regional 1 Midlands or Regional 1 South West depending on the location of the teams.
Due to the liquidation of RFU Championship side Jersey Reds in September 2023 and the knock on effect on the league system, the best placed 13th placed side in the three National 2 leagues (National League 2 North, National League 2 East, National 2 West) will be saved from relegation.[2] Relegation (13th placed teams) .
The results of the matches contribute points to the league 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. Participating teams and locations [ edit ]
