The proposed line-up for the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division and Division One for the 2022/23 season has been released by the FA.

There will once again be 20 teams in the Premier Division whilst Division One has expanded to 22 sides with five new teams entering the NCEL, two returning, and six departing.

Frickley Athletic and Yorkshire Amateur come down from the Northern Premier League into the Premier Division with Frickley a new face to our competition whilst, as expected, Hallam and North Ferriby move up from Division One.

Golcar United are also promoted into the Premier Division from North West Counties League Division One North to become another new NCEL side.

Grimsby Borough leave us to go up into the Northern Premier League whilst AFC Mansfield and Sherwood Colliery move across to the United Counties League Premier Division North.

Athersley Recreation are relegated to Division One along with Staveley Miners Welfare who took voluntary demotion.

Three clubs make the step up from the Feeder Leagues with Beverley Town, Horbury Town and Wakefield making their bow in NCEL Division One.

Campion return to us from the North West Counties League whilst Clipstone and Rainworth Miners Welfare have moved laterally to United Counties League Division One, and Teversal are demoted to the Feeder Leagues.

The proposed constitution is subject to ratification at the FA Council and will be rubber-stamped at the Toolstation NCEL's AGM that takes place on Saturday 25th June, 2022.

We welcome all new and returning clubs to the Toolstation NCEL and say a fond farewell to all those who are leaving us and wish them all the best in the future.
