Message from the NPL

City of Liverpool, Dunston, Ilkeston Town and Worksop Town who were promoted from Step 5.

Ashton United & FC United of Manchester who suffered the heartbreak of relegation from the National League but are back amongst friends, and Sutton Coldfield Town who return to us via FA lateral movement.

We look forward to working with you all in the coming months.

To AFC Mansfield, Gresley and Skelmersdale United you leave us with all good wishes and we hope it isn’t too long until you return to this level of the game. It has been a pleasure as all three clubs have been hard working and respectful members of the Northern Premier League.

To Colwyn Bay we hope the return to The FA of Wales is all you wish for.

We congratulate Farsley Celtic on promotion to the National League. We wish you every success in the future at Step 2 and beyond.

And finally, our best wishes to our friends at Hednesford Town who move to the Southern League as a lateral transfer.

The website will be updated in the next 12-48 hours to reflect our new membership and the registrations will open on Thursday 20th June 2019.
