Rugby union competition in England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

| 2024–25 National League 2 West | |
|---|---|
| Countries |  England |
| Date | 7 September 2024 – 26 April 2025 |
| Champions | Clifton (1st title) |
| Runners-up | Camborne |
| Relegated | Devonport, Bournville |
| Matches played | 175 |
| Attendance | 87,176 (average 498 per match) |
| Highest attendance | 2,846 – Camborne v Redruth, 21 December 2024 |
| Lowest attendance | 75 – Exeter Uni v Devonport, 21 December 2024 |
| Tries scored | 1601 (average 9.1 per match) |
| Top point scorer | 247 – Kyle Moyle (Camborne) |
| Top try scorer | 44 – Ben Priddey (Camborne) |
Clifton would finish as champions, 6 points clear of runners up Camborne, a 5 point victory at home on the last day of the season ensuring promotion to the 2025–26 National League 1, making a return to tier 3 for the first time since 1997.[1] Although the title battle went to the very last game, in effect the turning point of the season was during 5 April 2025 when Clifton defeated Camborne 46 – 26 at home to become league leaders after having chased the Cornish side for the majority of the campaign. One consolation for Camborne would be that they would retain their rivalry with Redruth for the following season - with the two games between the Cornish teams attracting a combined attendance of 5,324 - easily the best attended in the division.
The reformation of the RFU Championship from 12 to 14 teams meant that one team per level would be safe from relegation. This made relegation more complex than normal but in the end both Devonport Services and Bournville went down on 5 April with two games still to play due to the results of National League 2 North sides making it impossible for either side to stay up - ultimately Billingham from the 2024–25 National League 2 North would remain in tier 4 as the best 13th placed side.[2][3]
Structure
The league consists of fourteen teams who play the others on a home and away basis, to make a total of 26 matches each. The champions are promoted to National League 1. The bottom two teams are relegated to Regional 1 Midlands or Regional 1 South West.[4]
The results of the matches contribute points to the league 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.
Earlier in the season it had been indicated that the RFU Championship was due to increase from 12 to 14 teams for 2025–26. This was finally confirmed by the RFU with most of the season completed, and the subsequent league restructuring meant that one team per league level would have a reprieve from relegation, meaning that the best ranked 13th place team in National League 2 East, National League 2 North or National League 2 West would stay up at the end of 2024–25.[5]

Notes
- Since relegation from the 2018–19 National League 1 Loughborough Students have switched games from the Loughborough University Stadium to nearby East Park.
- The Rugby Paper had the crowd at Taunton Titans home game against Old Redcliffians on 12 October 2024 listed at just 267. This is a incorrect - attendance was actually 627.
- The crowd figure in The Rugby Paper for Macclesfield v Luctonians was incorrectly given as 1,564. Contact with Macclesfield RUFC reveals this to be an error so 564 has been used.
- The Rugby Paper gave Redruth's home game versus Devonport Services on 8 March 2025 an attendance figure of 285. Contact from the Redruth president reveals this to be a grave underestimate and the actual attendance was 689.
- The Rugby Paper gave Redruth's home game versus Hinckley on 22 March 2025 an attendance figure of just 240. Contact from the Redruth president reveals this was the second time in a month that the attendance figure was incorrect and the actual attendance was much higher at 869.
- The Rugby Paper gave two attendances for Macclesfield's game against Loughborough on 5 April 2025 - 339 in the match report and then 401 in the results page. The higher figure has been given as it is more in alignment with Macclesfield's attendances towards the end of the season.
