Regional 1 South Central is a level five league in the English rugby union system, with the twelve teams drawn from across southern and South East England. The other level five leagues are Regional 1 Midlands, Regional 1 North West, Regional 1 North East, Regional 1 South East and Regional 1 South West.[1]

Havant are the champions and are promoted to National League 2 East

Format

[edit]

The twelve teams in this league are drawn from across southern England, with the league champions promoted to National 2 East. The league's bottom two teams are relegated to either Regional 2 Thames or Regional 2 South Central depending on their geographic location.[1] 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 table 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

2024–25 season

[edit]

Leaving the league are Havant who were promoted as champions the previous season, [2] replaced by Wimbledon who were relegated from National League 2 East. Also departing are Bournemouth who were relegated to Regional 2 South Central.[3] Ordinarily Horsham would have dropped to Regional 2 South East but due to obtaining the highest amount of points across those finishing in a relegation place (11th) they earned a reprieve as the demise of Jersey Reds meant there was a corresponding adjustment across multiple leagues.A Promoted into the league are Jersey and Old Alleynians who were promoted as champions of Regional 2 South Central and Regional 2 South East respectively.[4][5] Marlborough RFC transferred across to Regional 1 South West.
