The Lions (Bournemouth 1st XV) have been confirmed as playing in the Regional 1, South Central league for the 2022/23 season. This is a move from South West to London & South East maintaining our position at level 5 within the league structure.
Our Nomads (Bournemouth 2nd XV) will be following the Lions into the London & South East leagues after a number of years in the Raging Bull league. We have been placed in the Counties 1 Hampshire League which is 2 levels below the Lions. Coming back into the league structure will provide the Nomads with consistency of games, high level of competition with promotion opportunities.
The Wanderers (Bournemouth 3rd XV) maintain their league place, in the Counties 2 Tribute Dorset & Wilts South. They will be playing within the Southwest leagues unlike the Lions and Nomads. For those asking the question where does this fit into the new league structure, it is level 8 which is the level below our Nomads.
The Bedouins (Bournemouth 4th XV) will continue to play in the Dorset and Wilts Merit League, playing the local clubs in the area. We are still awaiting the fixtures for the upcoming season for the Bedouins, we are hopeful to give you a mixture of Friday night and Saturday games.
Home fixtures the kick off times will be at 3pm, away fixtures may differ from club to club. During the winter months kick off times maybe brought forwards. Please keep an eye on our social media pages for the latest information.
