Following the initial postponement of the Community game the official season end was declared when the RFU published the end of season final league standings for 2019-2020 based on a methodology that looked at a team’s average points in their home and away fixtures and applied this to any remaining fixtures. This moved Macclesfield into 3rd position with Blaydon and Harrogate in the 1st and 2nd positions respectively, thus missing out on promotion by the narrowest of margins.
