BT Premiership Division Three
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BT Scotland Premiership Division Three is Scotland's third national rugby union league.
Up to season 1972-73, Scotland's rugby union clubs participated in what was known as an 'unofficial championship'. It provided very unbalanced competition: some clubs played more fixtures than others and some fixture lists provided stiffer opposition than others. The resulting league table at the end of each season gave a very unbalanced and difficult-to-comprehend set of results.
Starting in season 1973-74, the Scottish Rugby Union organised the full member clubs into six leagues, allowing for fairer competition.
The league's current title sponsor is the BT Group plc.
