Colwyn Bay win right to remain in Cymru North at the second attempt

Colwyn Bay have won their appeal for the right to compete in Cymru North for the 2020/2021 season.

The Seagulls’ initial application for FAW Tier 2 Certification – mandatory to participate at that level – was rejected.

Bay, Caerau Ely, Llanelli Town and STM Sports were refused Tier 2 Certification by the independent Tier 2 First Instance Body on 7 May and submitted their appeals in accordance with FAW Tier 2 Compliance Regulations.

Following the conclusion of the Appeals Body meeting, the following clubs were awarded Tier 2 Certification for 2020/2021: Colwyn Bay, Caerau Ely
and Llanelli Town.

STM Sports were refused.

Colwyn Bay finished fourth in Cymru North this season. It was their first season back in Welsh football after a 35-year absence where they played in the English pyramid.
