Devon League 1

Summary

Devon League 1 is an English level eight rugby union league for clubs based in Devon (and sometimes includes one Cornish club — St Columba & Torpoint). The champions are promoted to Cornwall/Devon and the runner-up plays the second team from Cornwall League 1, with the winning team gaining promotion. Up until the end of the 2017–18 season, teams were relegated to Devon League 2 but since that league has been abolished there is currently no relegation.

Notes edit

  1. ^ Exeter Athletic were previously called Wessex RFC until that club merged with Exeter Youth RFC at the end of the 2017-18 season.[1]
  2. ^ Plymouth Civil Services has since been disbanded.
  3. ^ Prince Rock would later merge with Woodland Fort to become known as Prince Rock Woodland Fort RFC. The club has since disbanded.
  4. ^ The restructuring of Devon 2A and Devon 2B into a single division at the end of the season, meant there was no relegation.
  5. ^ There was no relegation as the division was due to increase from 8 to 10 teams for the following season due to the cancellation of Devon 2.
  6. ^ The result of the 2003-04 promotion playoff between Old Plymothian & Mannamedian and Perranporth is not listed on the RFU website, although Old Plymothian & Mannamedian would have had home advantage as they had a better league record than Perranporth. We do, however, know that Old Plymothian & Mannamedian won this game as they were in Cornwall/Devon the next season while Perranporth were not.
  7. ^ Due to the restructuring of the English league system by the RFU for the following season there was no promotion play-off. The champions and runners-up from each league having automatic promotion.
  8. ^ Topsham were automatically promoted as Camborne School of Mines did not want promotion.[92]
  9. ^ Torrington were automatically promoted at the end of the 2016–17 season as Newquay Hornets did not want to be promoted.[94]
  10. ^ Old Plymothian & Mannamedian's titles includes one win by Old Plymothian prior to the clubs merger.
