[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 882763, member: 58362"] You're right that it's a big step up, but not impossible. A couple of Devon and Cornwall league (level 8) players who have never played at a higher level have stepped up and played for Cornwall in the last few County Championship and not looked out of place. Among the handful of sides that take the competition seriously, I'd say that the County Championship is National One standard. Saying that, it look likely that Fylde will be in N2N next season, which shortens the gap a little. The standard advice is to contact a club at the level you're interested in playing at and see if you'd be welcome to attend pre-season training. [/QUOTE]
