Holywell Town and Hawarden Rangers named Wrexham League champions

Hawarden Rangers and Holywell Town have been crowned champions of the Wrexham League after the season was ended due to COVID-19. 

The National League board proposed that the season would be curtailed due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Holywell lift the league title for the first time in their history after previously plying in the Welsh Alliance League. 

The Wellmen have bounced back from their relegation from the Cymru Alliance last season by winning the league title at the first attempt. 

As a result of the vote, “The FAW Board agreed that Tier 1 to 4 leagues would be curtailed and that an unweighted points per game method be applied to determine the final standings.”

The points per game method means that despite trailing Cefn Albion prior to the suspension, Holywell Town reached the league summit.

John Haseldin’s side had a points-per-game ratio of 2.47, meaning Rhostyllen and Cefn Albion took second and third, with 2.28 and 2.25 points per game respectively.
