Orrell 2XV have been announced as the champions of the North West Leagues County Courier Services Division 2 North.

With games suspended back in March 2020, following the announcement of a National Lockdown to tackle the Coronavirus pandemic, the league was put on hold indefinitely.

This meant discussions about who would be awarded the championship and promotion took place. Orrell 2XV were top of the league on 71 points, two points clear of local rivals Leigh Rugby Union, Orrell sat with an advantage before the season came to a halt.

The decision was made that the league standings in March would be final and this gave Orrell the championship and the first promotion in as many years. Finishing the season with 12 wins in 19 games, two draws and 5 defeats.

Orrell 2XV will go onto to play in Division 1 when rugby is allowed to get back underway.
