Shaw Lane Aquaforce have been placed in the Evo Stik Division One South.
This is after the FA’s league committee met today to sort out the allocations for steps one to four.
Toolstation NCEL Premier Division champions Shaw Lane had been expected to be put into the South rather than the North.
The news means Craig Elliott can properly start his recruitment plans for life in the Evo Stik next season.
Shaw Lane will face derbies with the likes of Goole and Stocksbridge Park Steels.
