From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2002β03 National Division Two was the third version (sixteenth overall) of the
third division of the
English domestic
rugby union competition using the name National Division Two. New teams to the division included
Henley Hawks and
Bracknell who were relegated from the
2001β02 National Division One while promoted teams included
Doncaster who were champions of the
2001β02 National Division Three North as well as
Cornish teams
Penzance & Newlyn (champions) and
Launceston (playoffs) who came up from the
2001β02 National Division Three South .

[4] The league points system was 2 points for a win and 1 point for a draw.
Penzance & Newlyn finished the season as champions with Henley Hawks six points behind as runners up, both sides being convincingly the best in the division and would be promoted to the
2003β04 National Division One for the next season.
[5]
[6] For Penzance & Newlyn it was their second successive promotion while Henley made an instant return having been relegated the following season.
Fylde and
Kendal were the first two sides to be relegated but the battle for the last relegation spot was very tight with just three points separating 12th from 8th in the division.
[7] Launceston went into their last game ahead of relegation rivals
Nottingham and
Wharfedale , but while those sides won their games, Launceston lost their home game against league champions and local rivals Penzance & Newlyn to condemn the Polson Bridge side to the drop β dead level with Nottingham but with a worse points difference.
[5]
[6] Fylde and Kendal would drop to the
2003β04 National Division Three North while Launceston returned to the
2003β04 National Division Three South .
