Wolves players in shock after failure to apply for promotion

Wolves finished second in the northern section of the third tier in English women's football - the FA Women's National League Northern Premier Division - on Sunday, three points behind Forest, who clinched promotion on the final day to go up to the second tier. Only one team could be promoted.

Wolves have met all the criteria to play second-tier football but it has emerged the club did not apply, and the players were told of this at a team meeting on Sunday after full time in their 6-0 home win against Liverpool Feds, their final game of the season.

Wolves did not wish to comment on the matter when contacted yesterday by the Guardian.
