Following the appeal by Evesham United with regards to their transfer from the Southern league South & West division to the Evo-Stik North division one south, the Football Association has overturned the original decision from the 27th May.

Therefore, Cinderford Town have now placed at step 3 into the Southern league premier division and Corby Town will now play in the Northern premier division instead of the Daniels.
Stamford will now take their place in the Evo-stik North division one South starting on Saturday 13th August.

The Football Association that none of the clubs involved have grounds for an appeal.

Full Details of the decision are below:

The Board decided that the Leagues Committee (LC) failed to apply the regulation relevant to clubs being promoted from Step 4 to Step 3 as winners of their division and, in particular, that accepting an application for non-promotion was not an option available to the LC.

Therefore, the Board exercised their right under Regulation 3.3(2) of the Regulations for Football Association Appeals to “exercise any power that which the body against whose decision the appeal was made could have exercised” and order that the original publication of the Club Allocations on the 12th May be re-instated with immediate effect. For the avoidance of doubt this order applies only to the situation affecting the decision surrounding Cinderford Town FC and other affected Clubs and does not affect any other decision determined by earlier Appeal Boards elsewhere within the pyramid.

To confirm, the following applies:

Club

Allocation

Cinderford Town FC

Southern League (Premier Division)

Corby Town FC

Northern Premier League (Premier Division)

Stamford AFC

Northern Premier League (Division One South)

Evesham United FC

The decisions made in today’s Board of Appeal are final and binding on all parties.
