Bangor City Kicked Out Of Welsh Premier League

Football execs "delivered a shock" by kicking out three-time winner Bangor City from the Welsh Premier League, according to Katie Sands of WALES ONLINE. Bangor, which has been in the league since its inception in '92, will be demoted to the Cymru Alliance, the second tier of the Welsh system, for next season. Currently third in the Welsh Premier League, the club will "not be eligible to compete for the Europa League." The news "comes as a huge blow" to Bangor, which has been one of the Welsh Premier League's "staunchest backers" and is regularly among the "biggest supported clubs in the competition." The decision was made after the FA of Wales' Licensing Appeals Body met in Cardiff on Thursday. Clubs are assessed against strict criteria "including sporting performance, infrastructure, personnel and legal and financial concerns" (WALES ONLINE, 4/26).
