2011–12 National League 2 South

The 2011–12 National League 2 South was the third season (25th overall) of the fourth tier (south) of the English domestic rugby union competitions since the professionalised format of the second division was introduced. The league system was 4 points for a win, 2 points for a draw and additional bonus points being awarded for scoring 4 or more tries and/or losing within 7 points of the victorious team. In terms of promotion the league champions would go straight up into National League 1 while the runners up would have a one-game playoff against the runners up from National League 2 North (at the home ground of the club with the superior league record) for the final promotion place.

Old Albanian, as champions, were promoted to the third tier (2012–13 National League 1) for next season, along with Richmond who finished second, beating the 2011–12 National League 2 North runners up Caldy 20 - 13 after extra time at the Richmond Athletic Ground.[1][2][3] Relegated teams included Barnes, Hertford (both having stayed in the division for just one season) as well as Westcombe Park, with all teams dropping into National League 3 London & SE due to being from the London area.[4][5][6]

Promotion play-off

Each season, the runners-up in the National League 2 South and National League 2 North participate in a play-off for promotion into National League 1. Richmond were runners-up in the South and would host the game as they had a better record in the league in comparison to the North runners up Caldy.[7][8]
