With the season now wrapped up, the structure for the next WRU Admiral National Leagues campaign has been confirmed amid some big changes near the top of the pyramid.
In a move that had knock-on effects right the way down the grassroots leagues, it was announced last year that the Premiership will increase from 12 to 14 clubs from the 2023/24 season, with relegation from the top tier this season scrapped. The league will in fact be made up of just 13 teams during the next campaign after Llanelli's shock withdrawal.
Meanwhile, the Championship will also undergo a major change from next season, splitting into two regional leagues of 12 teams - East and West - with 12 clubs promoted from the various sections in Division One to make up a new two-group, 24-side competition.
