Midlands 3 East (South)
Midlands 3 East is a level 8 English Rugby Union league and level 3 of the Midlands League, made up of teams from the southern part of the East Midlands region including clubs from Bedfordshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and occasionally Cambridgeshire and Oxfordshire, all of whom play home and away matches throughout the season. Each year all clubs in the division also take part in the RFU Senior Vase - a level 8 national competition.
The division was formed for the 2000-01 when the old Midlands 4 East was split into two regional divisions called Midlands 4 East and Midlands 4 East and gained its current title for the 2009-10 season due to further restructuring to the Midlands League. Promoted teams tend to move up to Midlands 2 East while demoted teams typically drop to Midlands 4 East.
