2013–14 National League 2 North
The 2013–14 National League 2 North was the fourth season (twenty-seventh overall) of the fourth tier (north) 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 South (at the home ground of the club with the superior league record) for the final promotion place.
The battle for the league title was as tight as it had ever been in the division with three teams - Darlington Mowden Park, Macclesfield and Stourbridge - looking to go up in a title race that went to the very last day of the season. Stourbridge won their final game away to Harrogate via a bonus point victory meaning that the winner of Darlington Mowden Park and Macclesfield was likely to go up. In a very close game in front of a record National 2 North crowd of 3,750 at The Northern Echo Arena, Mowden Park emerged as the victors 28 - 24 against Macclesfield only for the Cheshire side to gain 2 bonus points in defeat.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Darlington Mowden Park 28 Macclesfield 24 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Darlington Mowden Park coach Danny Brown geared up for promotion push )〕 These bonus points meant that it was Macclesfield that went up 1 point clear of their two title rivals, returning to their former league after just one season out. Despite the disappointment of losing out on the last day of the season, Darlington Mowden Park would follow Macclesfield up into the 2013–14 National League 1 by defeating Ampthill in the north-south promotion playoff in what was a very tight game that took extra time to be resolved.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Promotion is McGaffin’s farewell present to Park )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Darlington Mowden Park 30 Ampthill 28 AET - late heartbreak for A’s in play-off final )〕 The move to The Northern Echo Arena saw quite a turnaround in fortunes for the north-east side, with large crowds turning up on a regular basis (an average of over 800 per game) particularly when considering that games held at the old ground of Yiewsley Drive a couple of seasons previously saw only around 200 hardcore fans watching games. You have to spare a though for Stourbridge though, as the Midlands side would easily have achieved promotion on any other season but for the most competitive title battle in the divisions recent history.
While the fight for promotion had been extremely fierce the battle for relegation was far less so. Dudley Kingswinford ended a two year stay in the division in what was a very poor season, failing to win any games at all and only having 6 points all season from try and losing bonuses (they were the first team to lose all 30 games in the division since Manchester in 2010-11, although bonus points gave them a better overall record).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=DK's duly relegated as depressing run of results continues to haunt them )〕 Dudley Kingswinford would be followed in relegation by fellow Midlands side Bromsgrove whose 5 wins were not enough and finally by Sheffield Tigers who did better but not enough to catch 13th placed Hull.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Relegation for Boars but a spirited show against Bees )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=No complaints as Tigers are relegated )〕 Dudley Kingswinford and Bromsgrove would drop to National League 3 Midlands while Sheffield Tigers fell to National League 3 North.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National League Three Midlands 2014-15 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National League Three North 2014-15 )〕
==Participating teams and locations==
Twelve of the teams listed below participated in the 2012–13 National League 2 North season. Macclesfield and Sedgley Park were relegated from the 2011–12 National League 1; Chester (champions) and Harrogate (playoffs) were promoted from National League 3 North; Ampthill were promoted from National League 3 Midlands as champions and were then level transferred to the 2013–14 National League 2 South, due to an imbalance in the number of teams in the two fourth tier leagues.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Coventry 61 Sedgley Park 7 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Macclesfield RUFC 29 Fylde 28: All over as Blues get sinking feeling )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chester Rugby Club win title and promotion )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The dream is over as Sutton endure play-off heartbreak )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Promotion/Relegation 2013 )〕
