Promoted!!

Long Preston took on Silsden Whitestar Reserves and came away with a vital 4-3 victory, with promotion rivals Waddington slipping up against Skipton AFC Long Preston have safely taken 2nd place in the table and secured promotion. Whilst still a mathematical possibility, it is very unlikely that LPFC can take the league title.... Match report here

27th April 2010

Long Preston travelled to Ighton Leigh Reserves and were beaten 7-1, A bitterly disappointing result in a game that was always going to be hard to win. LPFC still top the table on goal difference but Ighton Leigh have a game in hand. League Table. The league title looks to have slipped away. With two games still to play LPFC must still give their all if they are to win promotion. Match report here
