At the end of the 1999-2000 the division was cancelled along with North West 1, North West 2, and their counterparts North East 1, North East 2 and North East 3, due to northern league restructuring by the RFU. Most teams in North West 3 were transferred to their relevant regional leagues - South Lancs/Cheshire 1, South Lancs/Cheshire 2, North Lancs/Cumbria or the Cumbrian League depending on final league position.

gollark: Given our tendency to anthropomorphise natural processes and assign everything labels and whatnot, one could argue that our brains are closer to foolish OOP languages than assembly or something, not that either is remotely sensible as a non-bees description.
gollark: Brains are like stupid things, and they do stupids.
