WELSH Premier League champions Rhyl are confident they can gain the all-important FAW domestic licence on appeal following their surprise omission from the list of successful clubs announced today.
Licences have been awarded to Aberystwyth Town, Carmarthen Town, Haverfordwest County, Llanelli, Neath, Newtown, Prestatyn Town and The New Saints.
With the exception of Prestatyn, the successful clubs were also awarded a Uefa licence, along with Bangor City and Porthmadog, enabling them to take part in European competitions.
The remaining clubs face an anxious wait to see whether they are successful in the appeal process with the final decision due on Monday, May 17.
Rhyl secretary Kevin Davies revealed the club's first application failed as it was unable to submit its accounts before the stipulated deadline.
"We always anticipated a slight problem due to us having to bring the date of our financial year into line with the FAW, but on appeal we are confident everything will be in place and we will meet all the criteria needed for the domestic licence," he said.
