Flint Mountain FC Stepped Down to Tier 4 — Wales Fc
wales fc moved quickly on Flint Mountain FC’s request and granted the club elective relegation from the Cymru North. Flint Mountain FC will compete in Tier 4 for the 2026/27 season, while the ruling also reshapes the lower end of the pyramid for two other clubs.
Flint Mountain FC and the FAW
Flint Mountain FC sent formal communication to the Football Association of Wales asking to step down, and the request was approved under FAW Men’s Pyramid Regulation 4(b). That decision puts the club into Tier 4 for 2026/27 rather than leaving it in the Cymru North, where it had been operating at Tier 3 level.
The move is not just a one-club change. Ruthin Town FC and Kerry FC each received a reprieve from relegation as the highest-ranked relegated clubs in 2025/26, and both will keep their places in their current divisions for 2026/27.
Ruthin Town FC and Kerry FC
Ruthin Town FC will continue in the Cymru North next season, while Kerry FC will remain in the Ardal North East. Those rulings close the loop on the clubs most directly affected by Flint Mountain’s step down, because the vacancy and reprieves sit inside the same league composition process.
That process is not finished yet. The full FAW Men’s National Leagues composition for 2026/27 will be confirmed in due course, leaving the final shape of Pyramid Tiers 1-3 and Tier 4 to be completed later. For clubs tracking placement, the practical point is already set: Flint Mountain is moving down, Ruthin Town stays up, and Kerry stays in place.
