Newly-named and new look divisions will greet rugby clubs after the RFU undertook the biggest change to the league structure in 30 years.

The new pyramid will see clubs in either national, regional or county leagues with the underlying plan to improve player retention, attract new players and cut down on travelling time.

A new cup competition will round-off the season.

Old Albanian will now be in National Two East, one of three divisions at the same level rather than the previous two. They start the year away to Guernsey with the return match rounding off the campaign on April 22.

Harpenden find themselves in Regional One South East, the highest level outside of the national leagues, and will find themselves playing county derbies with both Hertford and Tring.


St Albans and Tabard are in the same division once again, now called Counties Two Herts Middlesex.

Tabard head to Boggymead for the first meeting on November 26 with the return game at Cobden Hill on March 4 representing the penultimate fixture of the season.

Verulamians meanwhile start away to Chess Valley on September 24 in Counties Three Herts Middlesex.
