Surrey 4

Surrey 4 is a level 12 English Rugby Union League. It is made up of teams predominantly from Surrey and south-west London. The teams play home and away matches from September through to April. Promoted teams move up to Surrey 3 and since the cancellation of Surrey 5 at the end of the 1991–92 season there has been no relegation as this is the lowest level controlled by the RFU. At the end of the 1999-2000 season, Surrey 4 was cancelled with teams automatically going up to Surrey 3 or dropping out of the league. After a hiatus of 4 seasons the division was reinstated.
