The Tier 3 Independent Appeal Panel met today to consider the Club’s appeal against the refusal to grant Treborth accreditation as a ground which complies with the Tier 3 criteria. We are glad to announce that the Panel upheld our appeal and that Treborth now meets the criteria against which grounds are assessed for their suitability to host Tier 3 league fixtures.

Whilst this decision potentially paves the way for the Club to progress to Tier 3, it must be remembered that there are now 84 clubs who have achieved Tier 3 certification but only 64 places available in the Tier 3 leagues in the new league structure.

The Club has submitted a separate application seeking promotion to Tier 3 next season, we understand that this, together with the structure of the new Tier 3 and Tier 4 leagues, will be decided by the FAW National Leagues Board when they meet on Friday.

We would like to thank the University for their assistance with overcoming the initial problem and our sponsor, Hefin Thomas, for supplying the necessary toilet units at short notice.
