New teams swell the L&C divisional ranks

L and C Chairman Mike Yates said at the League AGM: "I give a warm welcome to the Lancashire & Cheshire Amateur Football League 116th AGM for the end of the 2024/25 season.

"We introduce 14 new clubs to you tonight and a raft of rule changes, all to be voted upon later if they meet with your approval.

"The most successful team last season were undoubtedly Salford Victoria who did the double winning the Premier League and the Rhodes Cup.

"They showed their title winning qualities when they scored an equaliser and winner in added time in the final against a strong Abacus Media team.

"Chadderton Cott won division one by seven points and were only defeated once, so were worthy winners.

"Division two had a much closer finish with Santos beating Rochdalians by a point to gain the title.

"Manchester Rovers were worthy winners of Division Three winning by five points and again only losing once all season.
