Survival in National 2 North all comes down to one game - the play-off against Harrogate at Marl Pits on Saturday 9th May.

Last weekend, Rossendale RUFC played their last league fixture in National 2 North which left them in 12th place in the table.

This means we avoided automatic relegation, but have to fight for survival in a play-off game against Harrogate at Marl Pits on Saturday 9th May, kick off 3:00PM.

National 2 North is the 4th tier of English rugby, and it has been a tough first season at this level for the Stags after winning promotion last year, and the club are desperate to remain in this league. So it all comes down to one game – the victors gets the place in National 2, and the losers will play in Regional 1 next season.

Rossendale have seen a revival towards the end of the season 3 wins from 5 games whilst Harrogate have won 5 of the last 6, so it promises to be an exciting and competitive battle.
