2007–08 Welsh Premier Division

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2007–08 Welsh Premier Division or 2007–08 Principality Premiership for sponsorship reasons was the sixteenth Welsh Premier Division. The season began on Saturday 1 September 2007 and ended on Wednesday 7 May 2008. Fourteen teams played each other on a home and away basis. This was also the first season where teams earned four points for a win and two points for a draw as well as a bonus point for scoring four or more tries in a match. The losing team also earned a bonus point if they lost by seven points or less.
