2007 National League Cup Explained

The 2007 National League Cup (known for commercial reasons as the Northern Rail Cup) was a British rugby league competition. The group stage of the competition began on 11 February[1] and the final, in which Widnes Vikings won 54−6 against Whitehaven, was played on 15 July. In January 2007, the Rugby Football League announced a change to the points system meaning that teams earned three points for a win, two for a draw, and one bonus point for a loss by 12 points or less.[1] However, in the final tables only one point was given for a draw.
