The two clubs hoping to be promoted from the Welsh National League to join the League of Wales have been denied permission to do so.

Welshpool and Ton Pentre, who won the northern and southern feeder leagues, have been told that their facilities do not meet the necessary standards.

As a result, both Rhayader and Haverfordwest - last season's two bottom clubs - have escaped relegation.

League of Wales rules state that if no clubs are promoted, then no clubs will be relegated.
