Y Clwb Pêl-droed are running an end-of-season vote to decide this seasons Cymru Premier awards.
The 2020/21 season was played to a full conclusion despite a month later start than usual and a three-month hiatus.
Connah’s Quay claimed their second consecutive league title as they came out on the final day against The New Saints.
Bala Town secured European football for another season and it was late starts Newtown, who eventually lived up to their pre-season expectations to qualify for the Europa Conference League in a dramatic play-off final win over Caernarfon Town.
Cefn Druids and newcomers Flint Town United were spared relegation due to the non-start of the Cymru North and South seasons.
