Sun Sports’ Bellmount Wood Avenue has passed its grading, allowing Paul Hobbs’ side to remain in the Premier Division next season.
Earlier in the season Sun had announced they would be applying to the Football Association to join the Southern League. However, that has been put on hold after their chances of promotion were dashed.
“We are really pleased,” said manager Hobbs. “It is a big step forward for the club.”
Sun, currently third in the top flight, made the decision not to apply to join the Southern League in the new year and Hobbs explained: “We applied for the Southern League but it was not viable for us to continue because of finances; it was beyond our means to get the ground grading.
“We have done so much work to stay in this league, including putting in seating for 60 to 70 people.”
However, the door is far from closed for joining the Southern League in the future.
“If we get ourselves into a position next season where we could win promotion we will have to sit down and discuss that,” stated Hobbs.
Sun Sports came from behind to beat St Margaretsbury 3-2 on Tuesday, moving them level on points with second-placed London Colney.
Joe Kelly gave Sun the lead after 15 minutes but two goals in three minutes, separated by half time, put the home side in front.
Ashley Lewis then drew the visitors level after ten second-half minutes and the comeback was complete when centre-half Scott Bonner netted just before the hour.
Three days earlier Sun eased to a 2-0 home win over Tring Athletic; Lewis and Richard Pearce getting the goals for the hosts.
