Liga Nacional 2 Norte 2018-19

La Liga Nacional 2 Norte 2018-19 es la décima temporada (32.ª en total) de la cuarta división (norte) de las competiciones nacionales de rugby union de Inglaterra desde que se introdujo el formato profesionalizado de la segunda división .

El Hull Ionians terminó como campeón después de una victoria en casa con puntos de bonificación contra el Leicester Lions el 13 de abril de 2019, que selló el título de liga con una ronda aún por jugar. Fue el tercer título de la National League 2 North de los Ionians, igualando el récord establecido por Macclesfield . [1] Fue una batalla de liga competitiva, con cuatro equipos que parecían poder ganar, pero al final el Hull Ionians hizo lo suficiente para reclamar el título, 4 puntos por delante del segundo clasificado, Chester , que se clasificó para el play-off de ascenso. El 4 de mayo de 2019, Chester perdió 10-19 como visitante ante el subcampeón de la National League 2 South , Canterbury . [2] Ese resultado significó que solo los Ionians ascenderían de división, uniéndose a la National League 1 2019-20 después de solo una temporada fuera.

En el otro extremo de la tabla, los recién llegados Peterborough Lions fueron el primer equipo en descender el 9 de marzo de 2019, con cinco partidos aún por jugar, después de perder en casa ante Preston Grasshoppers . [3] Una semana después, una victoria de los Sheffield Tigers el 6 de abril aseguró la seguridad de los clubes con sede en Sheffield, al tiempo que condenó a Macclesfield y South Leicester al descenso, a pesar de que South Leicester ganó su partido fuera de casa. [4] [5] Peterborough Lions y South Leicester caerían a la Midlands Premier , mientras que Macclesfield caería a la North Premier .

Otro dato interesante de la temporada fue la asistencia más baja jamás registrada en la Liga Nacional 2 Norte, con solo 37 personas que asistieron al partido en casa de South Leicester contra Sedgley Park el 30 de marzo de 2019. [6] [a 1] South Leicester también estableció un récord general de asistencia baja para la división, con un promedio de solo 85 seguidores por partido. [a 2]

Estructura

La liga está formada por dieciséis equipos que juegan entre sí en casa y fuera, lo que hace un total de treinta partidos cada uno. Hay un lugar de ascenso automático, un lugar de play-off y tres lugares de descenso. Los campeones ascienden a la Liga Nacional 1 2019-20 y los subcampeones juegan con el segundo equipo en la Liga Nacional 2 Sur 2018-19, y el ganador también asciende. Los últimos tres equipos descienden a la Premier Norte o a la Premier de Midlands, según la ubicación geográfica del equipo (en algunos casos, los equipos pueden unirse a las ligas regionales del sur).

Los resultados de los partidos aportan puntos a la liga de la siguiente manera:

Equipos y sedes participantes

Doce de los equipos enumerados a continuación participaron en la temporada 2017-18 de la National League 2 North . El campeón de 2017-18, el Sale FC, ascendió a la National League 1 2018-19 , reemplazando a Fylde y Hull Ionians , que descendieron de la National League 1 2017-18 . [7] [8] [9] Los tres equipos que descendieron de la National League 2 North la temporada anterior fueron Sheffield y Luctonians (ambos de la Midlands Premier ) y Blaydon ( North Premier ). [10] [7] [11]

Entre los equipos que han ascendido se encuentran los Preston Grasshoppers de la North Premier (campeones), que vuelven a la división tras una ausencia de tan solo una temporada, mientras que los Peterborough Lions subieron de la Midlands Premier (playoffs). Los campeones de la Midlands Premier, Birmingham & Solihull, fueron transferidos a la National League 2 South 2018-19 debido a un desequilibrio de equipos, siendo considerados el equipo más al sur de la división.

Promotion play-off

Each season, the runners-up in the National League 2 North and National League 2 South participate in a play-off for promotion to National League 1. Canterbury were runners up in the 2018–19 National League 2 South, and because they had a better record than the 2018–19 National League 2 North runners up, Chester, they host the play-off match.

Notes

  1. ^ Prior to South Leicester's attendance of 37, the lowest recorded attendance had been set by West Park St Helens during the 2007–08 season when a crowd of just 39 attended the home game against Leicester Lions on 15 December 2007. Note that this only refers to recorded attendances in tier 4 (north) and there may have been lower attendances since the division was created back in 1987 as Area League North.
  2. ^ South Leicester' average attendance of 85 broke the previous low of 89 set by West Park St Helens during the 2007–08 season. Note that this only refers to recorded attendances in tier 4 (north) and there may have been clubs with lower average attendances since the division's inception back in 1987 as Area League North.
  3. ^ The attendance figure given by The Rugby Paper for this game was 867. Although they had some difficulty calculating the attendance due to a lack of turnstiles, Preston Grasshopper officials gave the higher figure of 1,023.
  4. ^ The attendance figure given by The Rugby Paper for this game was 178 while Statbunker gave a figure of 399. However, on consultation with the Hinckley club chairman it turns out that the official attendance was much higher at 525.
  5. ^ The Rugby Paper gives an attendance of 265 while Rugby Statbunker gives a figure of 250. As the Rugby Statbunker figure seems rounded down, the Rugby Paper stat will be used instead.
  6. ^ The attendance figure given by The Rugby Paper for this game was 327. However, on consultation with the Hinckley club chairman it turns out that the official attendance was actually 489.
  7. ^ The NCA decided to call off the Chester v Tynedale game on 29 September 2018 due an MRSA outbreak in the Tynedale team. This followed a Tynedale player suffering injuries in a game on 15 September, leading to a bacterial infection which led to the player and several of his team-mates being hospitalised.[19]
  8. ^ The Rugby Paper give an attendance of 442 while Rugby Statbunker gives 243. In light of Preston's average attendances so far, the Rugby Paper figure seems the most likely.
  9. ^ The Rugby Paper give an attendance of 266 while Rugby Statbunker gives 400. On consultation with Huddersfield club officials it turns out the Rugby Paper attendance was correct.
  10. ^ The Rugby Paper give an attendance of 497 while Rugby Statbunker gives 350. The Rugby Paper version is correct as the Stourbridge RFC match report for the games states that there are almost 500 in the ground, including 120 ex players.[22]
  11. ^ The Rugby Paper give an attendance of 387 while Rugby Statbunker gives 297. In light of Preston's average attendances so far, the Rugby Paper figure seems the most likely.
  12. ^ The Rugby Paper give an attendance of 475 while Rugby Statbunker gives 438. As the Rugby Statbunker figure is more specific this has been used instead.
  13. ^ The Rugby Paper give an attendance of 256 while Rugby Statbunker gives 220. As the Rugby Paper figure is more precise, this has been used instead.
  14. ^ The Rugby Paper give an attendance of 545 while Rugby Statbunker gives 454. From talking to Hinckley officials the 545 figure given in The Rugby Paper is correct.
  15. ^ The attendance figure given by The Rugby Paper for this game was 439 while Statbunker gave a figure of 250. Following discussion with Sedgley Park officials it turns out The Rugby Paper figure is correct.
  16. ^ The attendance figure given by The Rugby Paper for this game was 362 while Statbunker gave a figure of 200. As this was a Christmas fixture the higher figure seems more likely and will be used until further findings can be revealed.
  17. ^ The attendance figure given by The Rugby Paper for this game was 527 while Statbunker gave a figure of 315. As this was a Yorkshire derby between two clubs challenging for the league the higher figure seems more likely and will be used until further findings can be revealed.
  18. ^ The attendance figure given by The Rugby Paper for this game was 242 while Statbunker gave a figure of 250. As the Rugby Statbunker figure seems a rounded estimate, The Rugby Paper figure will be used instead.
  19. ^ The attendance figure given by The Rugby Paper for this game was 650 while Statbunker gave a figure of just 300. From talking to Tynedale officials, it turns out that The Rugby Paper version was correct.
