Counties 1 Midlands East (North) (formerly Midland 2 East (North)) is a level 7 English rugby union league and at level 3 of the Midlands League, made up of teams from the northern part of the East Midlands region, including clubs from Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and the occasional team from Leicestershire. When this division began in 1992 it was known as Midlands East 1, until it was split into two regional divisions called Midlands 3 East (North) and Midlands 3 East (South) ahead of the 2000–01 season. Further restructuring of the Midlands leagues ahead of the 2009–10 season, saw it changed to Midlands 2 East (North) and post the RFU's Adult Competition Review, from season 2022–23 it adopted its current name

The current champions are Belgrave, who are promoted to Regional 2 Midlands North.

Format

The first-placed team (or runner-up if a reserve team wins the league) is promoted to Regional 2 North Midlands. Teams are relegated to either Counties 2 Midlands East (North) or Counties 2 Midlands West (West), depending on location; with the number of teams relegated depending on feedback following promotion and relegation in the leagues above.

The season runs from September to April and comprises twenty-two rounds of matches, with each club playing each of its rivals, home and away. 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.

Notes

  1. ^ Midlands East 2 is currently split into two regional divisions – Midlands 4 East (North) and Midlands 4 East (South).
  2. ^ Due to the cancellation of National 5 North at the end of the season, four clubs were promoted including Ampthill and Long Buckby.
  3. ^ Due to widespread restructuring caused by the cancellation of National 5 North there was no relegation.
  4. ^ Due to the restructuring of the Midlands leagues for the following season, there was no relegation.
  5. ^ Ahead of the 2000–01 Midlands East 2 was also split into two regional leagues – Midlands 4 East (North) and Midlands 4 East (South).
  6. ^ No relegation as the division would be increased from 10 to 12 teams for the following season.
  7. ^ Bakewell Mannerians dropped out of the league part way through the season and were relegated in bottom spot.[32]
  8. ^ 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 play-offs, meaning six 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.[23]
  9. ^ after extra time.
  10. ^ Hinckley's One by the first team and two by the reseves.
