Ware reprieve looking likely

News has emerged this morning that Bedfont Town will not be taking their place in the Southern League Division 1 Central for the forthcoming season. A statement on the club website read:

“Bedfont Town’s three year journey at step 4 came to an end on Tuesday when the club were unable to secure an affordable facility for next season and satisfy the league requirements.

This comes a day after Manager and acting Chairman Garry Haylock felt he had no other option but to walk away from the project at The Orchard.

The club can also confirm it’s resignation from the Capital League for it’s reserves.”

As previously covered here, Ware are next in line for a reprieve at step 4, thanks to their all-important last-day win over us. Nothing has yet been confirmed by the FA, but the most likely result of Bedfont’s resigation will be a reprieve for Ware, making them the fourth side reprieved at step 4 so far this summer.
