Cleator Moor Celtic to join West Lancashire League ranks

2 Jun 2023 By Andy Sykes

Celtic finished bottom of the North West Counties First Division North last season.

The FA Leagues Committee has decided to place Cleator Moor in the West Lancs as it was deemed the most 'geographically appropriate' feeder league.

It means the Premier Division currently has 17 teams in the division subject to final decisions at the league AGM on June 8.

The Premier Division has run with 17 teams before, most recently in 2016/17 when Longridge won the title.

Cleator Moor tweeted: "We are delighted to announce that our First Team will play in The West Lancashire Football League.

"We as a club look forward to the challenge in a league we know will be competitive, We look forward to hosting and visiting all our new clubs."

We welcome all from Cleator Moor Celtic and look forward to seeing them at the AGM on June 8.
