This afternoon Football Association (The FA) announced that Grangetown Boys Club have been allocated a place in the EBAC Norther League Division Two for the 2024/25 season.

These allocations are subject to appeals and any amendments to these will be confirmed by the FA in due course.

The club is now on course to compete in Step 6 of the National League System, the tenth tier of English football overall, and the highest level in our 83 history.

This follows a successful season on and off the pitch which has seen the club finish as runners-up in the North Riding Premier League, our highest league position in 13 years, reach the semi-final of the MacMillan Bowl Cup and receive ground grading certification from the FA following substantial stadium improvements at Grange Farm Road.

The club would like to thank all of our players, coaches, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters for their efforts throughout what has been an instrumental year for the club.

To celebrate, we are hosting our end of season presentation evening at the Albion Social Club South Bank on Saturday 25th May 7pm and everyone is invited to what should be a fantastic night.

Looking ahead to next season, be sure to keep an eye on our social media throughout the summer as there are plenty of announcements in the pipeline as we prepare for our biggest season ever.
