Hellenic League return for Shipston Excelsior

SHIPSTON Excelsior have had their application to rejoin the Hellenic League accepted, chairman Alex Seys confirmed.

It’s welcome news for the London Road club having made the difficult decision to drop out of the national structure and into the Stratford Alliance for one campaign to preserve their future.

Excelsior’s move to the Alliance came on the back of a surprise switch from Hellenic League Division Two North to Division Two West on the cusp of the 2021-22 season.
