London Skolars League Placings 2003-2024

The club was founded in 1995 and after playing in regional leagues they were accepted into what was then the National League 2 or third national division of Rugby League in the UK for the 2003 season. It became known as the Championship 1 in 2009 and League One in 2016.

A feature of this league has been the changes in the number of participants. It's been as high as sixteen and as low as nine. In 2025 it will be eleven and then twelve in 2026. That's where the powers that be want it to settle but a lot can happen between now and then. 

2013 was the best year when the club finished fourth and made the preliminary final in the playoffs. In this competition the London Skolars have been present more than any other club. Its success rate was nothing outstanding but it was nevertheless always there. ...

Then the Skolars club relegated itself after the 2023 season and they joined a regional league. Sadly, they didn't fulfill all their fixtures which is always a worrying sign. Hopefully, 2025 will bring an improved situation.
