Ruthin Town will not enter a third team in North East Wales League this season, but Corwen will make up the shortfall

Ruthin Town have decided not to run a third team this season.

The North East Wales Football League reports that the Vale of Clwyd club is not entering a Colts/Development side in the Reserve Division in 2023-24 due to a lack of players.

On the plus side, however, while one team is lost another is gained with Corwen confirming they are registering a reserve side.

FC United of Wrexham withdrew from the Championship Division at the weekend after two seasons of competing.
