Fixtures are released for new
THE new North Staffs and South Cheshire League season will start on Saturday, April 24 - subject to Government coronavirus restrictions.
NSSCL officials have planned to commence the 2021 campaign on time, unless the pandemic forces a change.
A new division has been created at the lower end of the ladder after new sides - and returning ones who didn’t play in 2020 - left too many teams competing in Division Eight.
Oakamoor have added a fourth team, while Ashcombe Park will now have a third side in the competition.
Both of those will make their NSSCL debuts in the newly-created Division Nine.
Kidsgrove, meanwhile, have opted to only enter one team, who will drop down the pyramid to play in Division Seven.
This summer will see new rules in the league. Half of the matches will be straight win or lose, with the remaining 50 per cent incorporating the traditional draw.
