Promotion and relegation issues confirmed – and some joy amidst the gloom for Bangor City

Llangefni Town are going up

Promotion issues for Welsh pyramid tiers two, three and four affecting North Wales football were confirmed today.

Welsh Alliance champions Llangefni Town, Mid-Wales League title winners Llanfair United and Welsh National League Premier Division runners-up Corwen will all be elevated to the former Huws Gray Alliance, now known as Championship North, for 2019-20.

Relegated to Welsh Alliance Division One from the Huws Gray Alliance are Holyhead Hotspur and Denbigh Town.

Holywell Town finished in the third-from-bottom relegation position, but they may still stay up depending on the outcome of Bangor City’s ongoing appeal against a 42-point deduction for alleged rule breaches during the 2018-19 Huws Gray Alliance campaign.

Promoted to Welsh Alliance Division One for 2019-20 are this season’s Division Two champions Glan Conwy and runners-up Blaenau Amateurs.

Dropping down from Welsh Alliance Division One into Division Two are Llandudno Junction and Barmouth and Dyffryn United.

Coming up into Welsh Alliance Division Two are 2018-19 Vale of Clwyd and Conwy League Premier Division champions Llandudno Amateurs and Gwynedd League runners-up Gwalchmai. Champions Menai Bridge Tigers were rejected on ground criteria issues.

The make-up of the Welsh National, Gwynedd, Vale of Clwyd and Conwy, North East Wales and Anglesey leagues for 2019-20 are still to be confirmed.
