[1][2][3][4] Despite losing three out of their first four games, London Scottish would go on to win the league title by winning twenty-six games on the trot and finishing ahead of newly promoted Barking.

They actually trailed Barking for most of the season, with a rearranged Christmas fixture meaning that they would face the Goresbrook-based side in the final game.

London Scottish won this game 17 - 13 to become the champions and seal promotion to the 2011–12 RFU Championship.

[5] At the other end of the table relegated teams included Launceston (who were unable to overcome a 20-point deduction given at the start of the season due to going into voluntary liquidation),[4][6] Otley[7] and Redruth.

[8] Launceston and Redruth would drop to the 2011–12 National League 2 South, with at least the consolation of having the Cornish derby for next season, while Otley dropped to the 2011–12 National League 2 North.
