Mold Alexandra and Chirk AAA have had their promotions confirmed to the Cymru North after securing a Tier Two Licence.
The Cymru South’s bottom side Port Talbot Town were also refused a licence but their pointless season had already consigned them to a season in the Ardal South West.
Mold Alexandra and Chirk AAA’s promotions to the second tier have been confirmed after their respective title wins.
Abergavenny Town and Pontardawe Town, the current leaders in the South, have also been granted a license, and should results go in their favour this weekend, they would be promoted.
Abergavenny are top of the South East and can win the league title with a draw against Trethomas Bluebirds in their final match of the season.
- Chirk AAA have become the first winners of the Ardal North East
- Mold Alexandra win FAW Amateur Trophy as hunt for treble continues
Current league leaders Abertillery Bluebirds have secured a licence and will be promoted if Abergaenny lose or take their place in the playoff if the Pennies get a positive result.
They would play the runner-up of the South West, which is currently Pontyclun, though they are in a winner-takes-all match against Ynyshir Albions, who have also secured the licence.
Whilst there weren’t many rejections, there was a glaring omission from the list of successful applicants.
Prestatyn Town are facing relegation from Welsh football’s second tier after their Tier Two Licence application was rejected.
The Seasiders will have ten days to submit an appeal and will need to be successful if they are to avoid a demotion.
Prestatyn were denied a Tier 1 Licence in 2020 which denied them a place in the Cymru Premier, owing mainly to a lack of gantry.
