After playing a series of round robin matches the teams finishing first and second in each league will play off in a final. Teams will be awarded 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss. There will be presentations for all winners and runners up at the end of the competition.
  2. League 1 – XVs:The XVs competition for League 1 will play 15 mins each way with a 2 min half time. Up to 22 players may be nominated for each match, although this 22 can be changed between matches. Normal RFU laws will be played less for:
