Prestatyn win Welsh Premier spot

Welsh Premier

Cymru Alliance winners Prestatyn will be promoted to the Welsh Premier next season at the expense of Llangefni.

Second-placed Bala had also applied for promotion, but when Prestatyn passed the league's ground inspection their elevation was secured.

"Prestatyn are a progressive club," said league secretary John Deakin.

No team will be promoted from the Welsh League as their top two sides did not apply for elevation, meaning that Caersws gain a Welsh Premier reprieve.

Prestatyn have never appeared in the Welsh Premier before and, at the age of 28, their manager Neil Gibson will be the youngest in the league.

  • Neath Athletic have secured their Welsh Premier future by leaving Llandarcy Park to ground-share the Gnoll with Neath RFC.
