Ten teams secure Tier 2 licence to compete in Adran North next season – who are they?

The Genero Adran North League would have scope to accommodate 10 teams next season as that number of clubs has secured a mandatory Tier 2 licence.

It was announced by the FAW today that the following have all been successful in their T2 Club Licence applications:

Airbus UK Broughton
Connah’s Quay Nomads

CPDM Bangor
CPDM Y Felinheli

Flint qualified for promotion after finishing champions of the North Wales Women’s League East Division.

Although they were beaten in the overall North Wales League Play-Off Final by West title winners Pwllheli on Sunday, the Llŷn Peninsula team did not apply to go up.

Llangefni Town, who finished runners-up in the West, did throw their hat into the ring for Tier 2 status and were successful.

Champions Llandudno, Connah’s Quay, Y Felinheli, CPD Y Rhyl 1879, NFA, CPDM Bangor, Llanfair United and Airbus were the eight teams who made up the Adran North in 2023-24.

Nineteen of the 22 applications across Wales for a Tier 2 licence got the thumbs up.
