Toolstation NCEL Premier Division
Clayborn, the home of Liversedge
Despite all the well-publicised pitch problems, Liversedge managed to pull off the great escape. ‘Sedge looked doomed at Christmas, but an influx of players and the backlog of fixtures helped pull them off-the-bottom of the table and finish in an unlikely 14th place.

One to Watch
Steve Wales
Former Nostell winger Steve Wales (right)
The winger, if fully fit, was a massive player for Nostell under Paul Lines. When he ruled out injured at the start of last season, it massively de-railed Nostell’s hopes.
Prediction
Bottom half
Sedge finished 14th above Retford and Garforth last season i recall, pretty good for a new management team that were new to the league and i wouldn’t be surprised they finish higher than your prediction. They finished 5 unbeaten also. I do not know the players they have signed hopefully they will add something to the squad. The signings made last season that they brought in were decent as the results showed so i have confidence they will do it again. regards Rich
