League restructuring by theRFU meant that South West 2 East andSouth West 2 West were renamed as South West 1 East and South West 1 West, with both leagues remaining at tier 6. Promotion was toNational League 3 South West[h], while relegation continued to eitherSouthern Counties North orSouthern Counties South.
