ESPFA FIXTURES 2022-23
The fixtures and league format are now confirmed for the exciting 2022-23 ESPFA season with the season kicking off on Thursday 6th October.
There will be two divisions once again this season with the winners of the North and Midlands divisions meeting in the National Grand Final which last season was contested by Rushall Olympic (Amber) representing ESPFA West Midlands and Runcorn Linnets representing ESPFA Cheshire with the ‘Pics coming out on top thanks to a Tyrese Hall hat-trick.
Two new regions join the ESPFA for the 2022/23 academic and football year with new cohorts in Greater Manchester and Staffordshire in association with Mossley AFC and Stafford Town respectively.
A separate cup competition will be created in 2023 to provide students with more competitive gametime and more information on that will be released in due course.
The countdown will now take place over the next 14 days as we look to kick off our NINTH season!
