1994–95 National Division 4

English rugby union season 1994–95 National Division 4 England Rotherham (1st title) Reading (also promoted) Broughton Park, Askeans 162 1993–94 1995–96 The 1994–95 National Division 4 was the eighth full season of rugby union within the fourth tier of the English league system, currently the regional divisions National League 2 South and National League 2 North, and the second using the name National Division 4. At the end of the season Rotherham finished as worthy champions, with just one defeat throughout the campaign to claim promotion to the 1995–96 National Division 3. They were joined by runners up Reading, who despite finishing 5 points behind were still well ahead of the chasing pack. It was quite an achievement by both sides who had only just been promoted into the division, having won their respective leagues the previous year. The relegation battle was keenly contested by three sides but in the end it was Askeans and Broughton Park who went down, with 8th placed Plymouth Albion just 1 point clear in safety, although their for/against points was far superior. Askeans would drop to Courage League Division 5 South while Broughton Park fell to Courage League Division 5 North.http://www.rugbyarchive.net/pagine/StagioneCompetizioni.aspx?ID=24 Courage League - Division 4 1994/95 The Rugby Archive 15 December 2017 15 December 2017 30 December 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20171230232916/http://www.rugbyarchive.net/Pagine/StagioneCompetizioni.aspx?ID=24 dead Structure Each team played home and away matches against each of the other teams, playing a total of eighteen matches each.
