North-West North 2
North-West North 2 was an English Rugby Union league which was at the eleventh tier of the domestic competition and was available to teams in Cumbria and the northern part of Lancashire. Promoted teams moved up to North-West North 1 and as the division was the lowest level for clubs in the region there was no relegation. The division ran for three seasons from 1987 to 1990 until it was cancelled due to a falling number of teams. All remaining clubs in the division were promoted/transferred into North-West North 1 for the start of the 1990–91 campaign.

gollark: Well, the interesting question is whether it does anything. Not safety.
gollark: There have already been big trials for ivermectin for COVID-19. Just negative ones.
gollark: Because it somehow became a political issue, I think people mostly just end up believing that ivermectin is or isn't good based on their group's politics.
gollark: People probably *are* saying "horse dewormer" derogatorily, but I doubt it actually affects people's views on it very much.
gollark: You're not being very clear about what argument you're trying to make.
