Further to this news, both the Southern Football League and Northern Premier League have held their annual awards ceremonies, and you can read about the Southern League Awards Night here and the NPL Awards are detailed here.
The Southern League story also carries some news about the proposed restructuring of the football pyramid for the following 2018-19 season, revealing there are plans for additional leagues to be added to the structure at Steps 3 and 4. Full confirmation of the way this restructuring will be carried out, with an impact on promotion places available next season have yet to be confirmed and placed in the public domain, but the provisional plans have been released by the Northern Premier League as a series of tweets on 25th June, which indicate there is expected to be at least one extra promotion place from the EVO-STIK South East next season – you can see these tweets by following this link and looking at the 25th June tweets.
Full confirmation and appropriate detail will be provided once confirmed by the FA and released to member clubs.
