Counties 1 Midlands West (South) (formerly Midlands 2 West (South)) is a level seven English rugby union league and level three of the Midlands League, made up of teams from the southern part of the West Midlands region including Herefordshire, parts of Birmingham and the West Midlands, Warwickshire and Worcestershire, with home and away matches played throughout the season. When this division began in 1992 it was known as Midlands West 1, until it was split into two regional divisions called Midlands 3 West (North) and Midlands 3 West (South) ahead of the 2000–01 season. Further restructuring of the Midlands leagues ahead of the 2009–10 season, saw it changed to Midlands 2 West (South) and post the Rugby Football Union (RFU)'s Adult Competition Review, from season 2022–23 it adopted its current name.

Luctonians II are the current champions and are promoted to Regional 2 Midlands West.

Format

The champions are promoted to Regional Midlands 2 West or occasionally to Regional 2 Midlands North . The number of teams relegated depends on feedback following promotion and relegation in the leagues above, but is usually to Counties 2 Midlands West (South).

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 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.

  2. ↑ Old Boys side of Leamington College.[6]
  3. ↑ Formed as Old Boys side of Longton High School, Old Longtonians would be renamed as Longton Rugby Club in 1994.[7]
  4. ↑ Old Boys side of Yardley Grammar School.
  5. ↑ Midlands West 2 is currently split into two regional divisions – Midlands 4 West (North) and Midlands 4 West (South).
  6. ↑ Due to the cancellation of National 5 North at the end of the season, five clubs were promoted including Kenilworth, Bromsgrove and Old Laurentians.
  7. ↑ Due to widespread restructuring caused by the cancellation of National 5 North there was no relegation.
  8. ↑ Due to the restructuring of the Midlands leagues for the following season, there was no relegation.
  9. ↑ Ahead of the 2000–01 Midlands West 2 was also split into two regional leagues – Midlands 4 West (North) and Midlands 4 West (South).

  11. ↑ The 2008–09 promotion play-offs were different as the RFU reorganized the leagues across the country including the Midlands Division. Usually the winners of each of the four regional divisions would go up automatically along with two of the runners-up who won their respective play-offs, meaning six teams were promoted. This year one extra was required to be promoted so the top two runners-up by league points – Bourneville (40) and Stewarts & Lloyds (40) went up – leaving the other two runners-up Nuneaton Old Edwardians (34) and Spalding (38) – to compete for the final promotion spot.[22]
