Future of United Counties League is guaranteed

The future of the United Counties Football League has been saved following a press announcement by the FA today (Thursday).

It read: “That the process of reducing Step 5 leagues from 14 to 12 was deemed unworkable and the initial suggestion withdrawn”.

So John Weeks, the chairman of the ChromaSport & Trophies United Counties Football League, wishes to thank all concerned for their united support against those initial suggestions.

The league has had overwhelming support from many within the FA and also county FAs, other leagues and clubs, national and local press, MPs and many other individuals and organisations, both in the UK and abroad.

Mr Weeks would like to take this opportunity to thank all the UCL clubs for their unanimous and unwavering support and our officers and management committee members for their unstinting efforts in producing facts, figures and documents to fight those suggestions from the FA.

Leagues at Step 5 can now focus on their future with the knowledge that our voice has not only been heard but acted upon.
