Notes
- St Ives withdrew from the league and their fixtures were explunged, following a heavy defeat in their opening match at Chew Valley.[1]
- League reduced to 13 teams following the withdrawal of St Ives.[1]
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom the RFU cancelled all rugby below the Premiership with most clubs in Tribute South West 1 West having played 20 games, and a best playing record formula was used to decide the final table.[40][41]
- After extra time the game was tied with each sides having 2 tries each. As a result Avonmouth Old Boys were awarded the victory by virtue of being the away side.[60]
