New teams to the division included Bradford & Bingley and Harrogate who were relegated from the 2006–07 National Division Two, while promoted teams included Caldy (champions) and Beverley (playoffs), both coming up from North Division 1, with no team from Midlands Division 1 as the winners of that league, Luton, went into National Division Three South instead.http://www.englandrugby.com/fixtures-and-results/competitions/national-leagues/2006-2007/ National Division Two 2006-07 englandrugby.com 28 April 2007 http://www.englandrugby.com/fixtures-and-results/competitions/northern-division/2006-2007/ North 1 2006-07 englandrugby.com 14 May 2007 21 October 2015 5 March 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160305170419/http://www.englandrugby.com/fixtures-and-results/competitions/northern-division/2006-2007/ dead The league system was 4 points for a win, 2 points for a draw and additional bonus points being awarded for scoring 4 or more tries and/or losing within 7 points of the victorious team. In terms of promotion the league champions would go straight up into National Division Two while the runners up would have a one-game playoff against the runners up from National Division Three South (at the home ground of the club with the superior league record) for the final promotion place. At the end of the season the league champions were Tynedale, who made up for the disappointment of missing out on promotion from last season's playoffs by winning the title at a canter, finishing ahead of 2nd placed Darlington Mowden Park by a massive 29 points and qualifying directly for the 2008–09 National Division Two.http://www.englandrugby.com/fixtures-and-results/competitions/national-leagues/2007-2008/group/12235 National League Three North 2007-08 englandrugby.com 19 April 2008 http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/tynedale-rescued-by-morley-slip-up-1.54980 TYNEDALE RESCUED BY MORLEY SLIP-UP News and Star 13 March 2008 September 2018 InternetArchiveBot yes As runners up Darlington Mowden Park had to go down to the 2007–08 National Division Three South runners up Cinderford for their playoff game, losing a tight encounter that finished 15 - 14 to the Gloucestershire side.http://www.englandrugby.com/fixtures-and-results/competitions/national-leagues/2007-2008/group/12237 National League Play Offs 2007-08 englandrugby.com 26 April 2008 21 October 2015 24 September 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150924051133/http://www.englandrugby.com/fixtures-and-results/competitions/national-leagues/2007-2008/group/12237 dead http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/7370770.stm Foresters play-off win 'no fluke' BBC News 30 April 2008 The rest of the league was extremely tight, although the relegated sides all probably deserved to go down in terms of results with newly promoted Beverley, West Park St Helens and Morley being the three sides to go down.
