Albion Given Evo-Stik Reprieve
8th June, 2011
The proposed line-up for the 2011/12 NCEL season has been altered after Ossett Albion were reprieved from relegation from the Evo-Stik League.
Their survival came about because Enfield 1893 are not allowed to move up into Step 4 of the National League System due to ground grading issues.
Albion retain their place as they had the best points per game average of all the Evo-Stik sides who finished in relegation places.
It means a slight change to the proposed constitution to be ratified at the league's AGM a week on Saturday:
