Lowestoft Town FC have received confirmation from the FA’s National League System of the provisional 2022/23 league allocations.

Subject to appeals and FA Council ratification, the club allocations for Steps 3-6 were announced on Thursday evening.

Following relegation from the Pitching In Southern League Premier Central division last season, The Blues have received confirmation that provisionally they will play next season in the Pitching In Isthmian League North Division.

If this allocation is ratified, Lowestoft could potentially line up for league games in 2022/23 against AFC Sudbury, Bury Town, Stowmarket Town, Felixstowe & Walton United, Gorleston, Wroxham and other teams from across Essex - including Hashtag United, founded in 2016 by YouTube content creator Spencer Owen.

A Pitching In Isthmian League spokesman said: "We welcome promoted sides Gorleston, New Salamis and Wroxham, as well as relegated sides East Thurrock United and Lowestoft Town.

"We've lost Dereham Town, who move to Northern Premier League Midlands."
