PRESCOT Cables enjoyed a "memorable day" over the bank holiday weekend as the club secured promotion to the Northern Premier League for the first time in 15 years.
After being relegated from the Northern Premier League 15 years ago, and narrowly missing out on promotion in 2018, Prescot Cables has finally achieved promotion to the seventh tier of English football.
Managed by Steven Daly, Prescot's first team finished third in the Northern Premier League (Division One West) season and played the City of Liverpool FC in the play-off final on Saturday, May 4.

With the sell-out fixture taking place at Prescot's Joseph Russell Stadium, Alex McNally far post header put Prescot 1-0 up just before half time.
The visitors were also down to ten men with a late challenge from Max Allen resulting in a red card.
With momentum on the side of Cables, top scorer John Murphy nodded home to make it 2-0 in the second half, sending the home crowd into a frenzy.
Celebrating the win on social media, a spokesperson for Cables said that the final was a "memorable day in the club's history".
