Clubs confirmed for 2020/21 Toolstation NCEL season
21st July, 2020
The Toolstation NCEL say goodbye to Ollerton Town and welcome back AFC Emley after the FA confirmed the club allocations for Step 5 and Step 6 football for the 2020/21 season.
Ollerton, who have been with us since 2016, have moved laterally to the East Midlands Counties League and we wish them all the best for the future.
Their place in Division One will be taken by Emley AFC who return to our league after spending the 2019/20 campaign with the North West Counties League.
With no promotions or relegations due to the expunged 2019/20 season, everything else remains the same in both divisions.
