Hednesford Town Football Club have this evening been informed that we have been moved from the Southern League Central to the Northern Premier League – following the resignation of Shaw Lane AFC from the league.

As soon as the football club received this news it was decided that an appeal will be submitted – with the management team having spent the last six weeks working hard to recruit a new squad

A club statement reads as follows:

“Hednesford Town Football Club will appeal this decision on the grounds that there are two clubs in the Southern League Central Division who are more northerly than us. These being Coalville Town and Kings Lynn Town.”

We shall aim to bring you the news of the appeal as soon as possible.
