Holyhead Hotspur and Ynyshir Albions complete the JD Cymru Leagues lineup for 2025\/26 following their respective victories in the tier three play-offs. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both clubs were relegated from the second tier in 2023 but make their return after two years in the Ardal Leagues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holyhead Hotspur are back in the JD Cymru No<\/a>rth<\/a> after a 3-0 win over Llanuwchllyn, who were beaten in the Ardal North play-off for the second consecutive year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cory Williams broke through the Llanuwchllyn defence to poke home the opener just after the half hour mark, before Ifan Emlyn Jones capitalised on a poor clearance from opposing goalkeeper Rob Dascalu to double the advantage from distance on 70 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Promotion was sealed when Williams bagged his second of the night soon after, before a straight red card for Dan Dascalu increased Llanuwchllyn’s woes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also promoted to the JD Cymru North are Ardal North West champions Rhyl 1879 and Ardal North East winners Brickfield Rangers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Ynyshir Albion’s place in the JD Cymru South<\/a> was secured courtesy of a 2-0 victory against Chepstow Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a goalless first half at the CCB Centre For Sporting Excellence, Cory Morgan produced a clinical finish into the top corner to put the Buns ahead six minutes after the break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Substitute Jorrie-Blue Griffiths grabbed the decisive second goal in the 79th minute when he prodded home in the box after Chepstow failed to deal with Joseff Haig’s corner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ardal South West champions Cardiff Draconians and Ardal South East winners Treowen Stars will also compete in the JD Cymru South next season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full league compositions for 2025\/26, along with season dates and fixture release days, will be confirmed in due course. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
