Cornwall League 2

Cornwall League 2 (known as Tribute Cornwall League 2 for sponsorship purposes) is an English level ten rugby union league for clubs based in Cornwall. The champions (and in some seasons the runner-up) are promoted to Cornwall 1; there is no relegation. The league had run continuously since 1987–88, except for a two-season break, when Cornwall 2 was combined with Cornwall League 1 for seasons 2009–10 and 2010–11. The competition recommenced in 2011–12 when it was decided to form two leagues of seven teams each.[1] Lankelly-Fowey won the second phase and have won Cornwall 2 for the first time. St Agnes and Helston are the most successful team having won the league on five occasions each.
