One of the more bizarre events to take place over the season was Redruth's game away at Cambridge. Trailing 30 – 0 at half time the Reds returned to their dressing room to find that it had been raided by thieves while they had been playing. Incensed at the missing valuables, including wedding rings, the Redruth team refused to come out for the second half. This led to the game finishing 30 – 0 to Cambridge (who also got a bonus point for scoring four tries) and the RFU would dock Redruth 10 points for failing to complete the game. yes Participating teams and locations England 500 right Locations of the 2007-08 National Division Two teams England 51.478056 0.028056 70 Blackheath top England 54.954853 -1.691454 70 Blaydon right England 52.194319 0.097994 70 Cambridge right England 53.727020 -1.857539 70 Halifax right England 51.746997 -0.974188 70 Henley left England 53.380149 -2.193188 70 Manchester right England 52.520489 -1.465381 70 Nuneaton right England 53.905825 -1.691785 70 Otley right England 50.233022 -5.226666 70 Redruth right England 51.545926 0.707712 70 Southend right England 52.45935 -2.183288 70 Stourbridge left England 53.490429 -3.053955 70 Waterloo right England 51.374843 0.0942139 70 Westcombe Park right England 54.073666 -2.014421 70 Wharfedale right TeamStadiumCapacityCity/AreaBlackheathRectory Field3,500 (500 seats)Courage Official Rugby Union Club Directory 1994–95 1994 Tony Williamson Publications Windsor Bill Mitchell 179 Blackheath FC (Ground Details)Blackheath, LondonBlaydonCrow Trees2,000 (400 seats)Swalwell, Tyne and WearCambridgeGrantchester Road2,200 (200 seats)Cambridge, CambridgeshireHalifaxOvenden ParkHalifax, West YorkshireHenley HawksDry Leas4,000Henley-on-Thames, OxfordshireManchesterGrove Park4,000Cheadle Hulme, Greater ManchesterNuneatonLiberty Way3,800 (500 seats)Nuneaton, WarwickshireOtleyCross Green7,000 (852 seats)Courage Official Rugby Union Club Directory 1990–91 1990 Burlington Publishing Co.
