New season start date announced

The 2022-23 Ebac Northern Football League season will begin on Saturday, July 30.

Subject to approval by the Football Association, it is proposed that the season will conclude on April 22, 2023.

Because of the increased number of teams in Division Two, the Northern League’s Management Committee has decided that there will be a First Division Cup and the Ernest Armstrong Memorial Cup (for Division Two teams) to alleviate fixture pressure on Division Two teams.

These two separate cups is what happened this season, but in previous seasons there has been a league cup for teams from both divisions.

Fixtures are due to be released soon after the league’s AGM, which is scheduled to be held on June 18.
