'''Midlands 4 East (North)''' is a level 9 English [[Rugby Union]] league and level 4 of the [[English Rugby Union Midland Division|Midlands League]], made up of teams from the northern part of the [[East Midlands]] region including clubs from [[Derbyshire]], [[Lincolnshire]], [[Nottinghamshire]] and the occasional team from [[Leicestershire]], with home and away matches played throughout the season. Each year some of the clubs in this division also take part in the [[RFU Junior Vase]] - a level 9-12 national competition.


Formed for the 2006–07 season, the division was originally known as Midlands 5 East (North) but changed to its present name for the 2008–09 season due to league restructuring. Promoted teams tend to move up to [[Midlands 3 East (North)]]. Up until the 2017–18 season, relegated teams dropped down to [[Midlands 5 East (North)]], but since that division has been abolished there is currently no relegation.

==Midlands 4 East (North) honours==

===Midlands 5 West (North) (2006–2009)===

League restructuring ahead of the 2006–07 season saw the introduction of Midlands 5 East (North) and its counterpart [[Midlands 4 East (South)|Midlands 5 East (South)]] at tier 9 to replace the discontinued [[East Midlands/South Leicestershire 1]] and [[Notts, Lincs, Derbyshire/North Leicestershire]] leagues. Promotion was to [[Midlands 3 East (North)|Midlands 4 East (North)]] and relegation to either [[Midlands 5 East (North)|Midlands 6 East (North-East)]] or [[Midlands 5 East (North)|Midlands 6 East (North-West)]].

===Midlands 4 East (North) (2009–present)===
Further league restructuring by the [[Rugby Football Union|RFU]] meant that Midlands 5 East (North) and Midlands 5 East (South) were renamed as Midlands 4 East (North) and [[Midlands 4 East (South)]], with both leagues remaining at tier 9. Promotion was now to [[Midlands 3 East (North)]] (formerly Midlands 4 East (North)) and relegation to [[Midlands 5 East (North)]] (formerly Midlands 6 East (North)) until that league was discontinued at the end of the 2017–18 season.

Midlands 4 East (North) is a level 9 English Rugby Union league and level 4 of the Midlands League, made up of teams from the northern part of the East Midlands region including clubs from Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and the occasional team from Leicestershire, with home and away matches played throughout the season. Each year some of the clubs in this division also take part in the RFU Junior Vase - a level 9-12 national competition.

Formed for the 2006–07 season, the division was originally known as Midlands 5 East (North) but changed to its present name for the 2008–09 season due to league restructuring. Promoted teams tend to move up to Midlands 3 East (North). Up until the 2017–18 season, relegated teams dropped down to Midlands 5 East (North), but since that division has been abolished there is currently no relegation.

The division was split across two geographic areas (East & West) for the 2021–22 season as part of an RFU reorganisation of the Midlands regional league.

2021–22

[edit]

Skegness, who finished 12th in 2019–20, were placed in the East division for the current season but were unable to fulfil their fixtures and subsequently withdrew from the league.

The teams competing in 2021–22 achieved their places in the league based on performances in 2019–20, the positions in brackets refer to that season not 2020–21.

[edit]

Midlands 5 West (North) (2006–2009)

[edit]

League restructuring ahead of the 2006–07 season saw the introduction of Midlands 5 East (North) and its counterpart Midlands 5 East (South) at tier 9 to replace the discontinued East Midlands/South Leicestershire 1 and Notts, Lincs, Derbyshire/North Leicestershire leagues. Promotion was to Midlands 4 East (North) and relegation to either Midlands 6 East (North-East) or Midlands 6 East (North-West).

Midlands 4 East (North) (2009–present)

[edit]

Further league restructuring by the RFU meant that Midlands 5 East (North) and Midlands 5 East (South) were renamed as Midlands 4 East (North) and Midlands 4 East (South), with both leagues remaining at tier 9. Promotion was now to Midlands 3 East (North) (formerly Midlands 4 East (North)) and relegation to Midlands 5 East (North) (formerly Midlands 6 East (North)) until that league was discontinued at the end of the 2017–18 season.
