The Northern Counties East Football League would like to thank and congratulate our member clubs after none of them failed to achieve the required ground grading for their level by yesterday's deadline.

March 31st, 2025, was the cut-off point for clubs in the Premier Division and Division One to ensure that their grounds and facilities met the respective guidelines laid down by The FA.

37 of our clubs passed by the deadline whilst the remaining five have been granted extensions due to building work that is currently underway or pitch extensions that need to be done once the current season ends.

So, that means that we are delighted to have no failures in ground grading and we would like to compliment all of our clubs for their hard work over the recent months to ensure that this could be achieved.

We have always been proud of the high standard of the grounds in our league and are delighted that will continue going into next season.
