In 1982, When the Midland League merged with the Yorkshire League to form the Northern Counties East League (NCEL), Arnold was placed in the new league's Premier Division. In 1986, they won 24 games on their way to lifting the title.[2] However, instead of advancing to the Northern Premier League, they moved down to the Central Midlands League (CML). They spent three years in the CML before merging with Arnold Kingswell to form Arnold Town in 1989.
