Having not tasted victory since thrashing Retford United 7-2 at Church Street in mid-December, and picking up just two points from a possible 33. Welfare’s hopes of an instant return to the NCEL Premier Division have ended.

Retford United, who came down with Armthorpe last season, Brigg Town, Nostell, Glasshoughton, Winterton Rangers, Selby Town, Eccleshill United and Hallam have all failed to make it back to the top flight, which outlines the enormity of the task facing Armthorpe boss Mike Carmody.
