Hull were crowned champions on 23 April 2022, when they played their last but one match of the season at home to local rivals Hull Ionians, beating them with a final minute try, 31–29 in front of a crowd of 950.[2] Hull were promoted to National One for the 2022–23 seasom. Owing to the reorganisation of the national leagues, there was no play-off match and Sedgley Park continued to play at this level. Huddersfield (15th) and Harrogate (16th) also continued to play at this level, due to the increase of tier 4 leagues from two to three.[3]
