This year's AGM for the Macron NCEL took place on Saturday morning where new and returning clubs were welcomed, we said goodbye to those leaving us, and the draw for the First Round of the League Cup was held.

Hemsworth Miners Welfare, Immingham Town, Retford FC and Retford United's return to the competition was officially confirmed and we also are delighted to have on board three new teams, Field Olympic, Kinsley Boys and LIV.

And, we wish Beverley Town, Glasshoughton Welfare, Liversedge, Louth Town, Maltby Main, Nostell Miners Welfare and Sheffield a fond farewell and thank them all for their time with us and we hope the new chapters in their respective stories will be exciting ones.
