Who will compete in the Ardal North East, Ardal North West, Cymru Premier and Cymru North in 2025-26?
Corwen will return to the Ardal North East League for the 2025-26 season.
Having won the Tier 4 North East Wales League Premier Division title in 2023-24, the Edeyrnion club rejoined Tier 3 last term and were placed in Ardal North West, where they finished in 10th position.
Upon restructuring of the Welsh pyramid in 2021-22, Corwen began life in the Tier 3 Ardal North East, where they stayed for two seasons before being relegated to T4 at the end of 2022-23.
Now they will return to where they started.
The make-up of the Ardal North West and North East for 2025-26 has now been established.
ARDAL NORTH WEST welcomes relegated sides Bangor 1876, Llay Miners Welfare and Prestatyn Town, while saying goodbye to CPD Y Rhyl 1879 and Holyhead Hotspur, promoted to the Cymru North for the season ahead.
Coming up from Tier 4 are Bethesda Athletic, Mynydd Isa and Penmaenmawr Phoenix.
Remaining in ANW are: Connah’s Quay Town, Llangefni Town, CPD Llannefydd, Llanrwst United, NFA, Porthmadog, CPD Pwllheli, St Asaph City, Trearddur Bay and CPD Pwllheli.
Saying farewell to ARDAL NORTH EAST are Brickfield Rangers, newly-promoted to the Tier 2 JD Cymru North for the first time.
Joining the ANE, rising from Tier 4, are Knighton Town, Lex XI and Llanrhaeadr, while relegated from last season are Chirk AAA, Llanidloes Town and Llansantffraid.
