League Champions - 2008    Previous    Next

 

With Super League licensing introduced from season 2008 and an increase to fourteen clubs, there was no promotion and relegation between Super League and the National League. With both Salford City reds and Celtic Crusaders winning licenses, National League One numbers saw only one team (Dewsbury Rams) re3legated and three promoted from League Two - Gateshead Thunder and Barrow Raiders automatically, Doncaster joining them via the Grand Final.

 

National League awarded two points rather than one for a draw.
