Nostell Miners Welfare will kick off the 2015 Toolstation NCEL Easter Groundhop in April.

The last one which took place in 2013 was a huge success, despite the bad weather which caused the first match at AFC Emley to be postponed.

Groundhop UK will once again organise the three-day event which draws hundreds of people from all over the country and acts as a fantastic advert for the league.

Nostell’s home game with struggling Retford is the first stop on Thursday 2nd April with the match kicking off in the evening.

It is then an early start the following morning on Good Friday for Barton Town Old Boys and Cleethorpes as their Premier Division match begins at 11.30am.

The day then moves onto Winterton Rangers against Yorkshire Amateur (2.30pm) and Grimsby Borough v Hall Road Rangers (6.30pm).

There are four games on the Saturday with Emley getting their chance to host a groundhop day when title rivals Hemsworth visit (10.30am).

Parkgate then welcome Staveley Miners Welfare (1,45pm) before Heanor head to Shaw Lane Aquaforce (4.45pm).

Pontefract Collieries’ trip to Penistone Church (7.30pm) concludes the three day event.
