Diss sealed the London Two North championship on Saturday with a fine 33-1`2 win over Letchworth in front of a large, jubilant crowd.
It means they have reached the highest level in the club's history.
Henry Lind, Diss Director of Rugby, said he was 'delighted and in shock, I think.
'Two years ago we were bottom of London League Three, just missing relegation. To go up two leagues is just awesome.

'We have played in the cup with North Walsham and they always seemd to put their seconds out.

'Looking forward to it. It will be an interesting season - and a very enjoyable one,' he added.
