The Premier Division featured five new clubs in a league of 20, increased from 18 the previous season after
Merthyr Town were promoted to the
Southern League, and
Corsham Town and
Sherborne Town were relegated to the First Division: •
Buckland Athletic, promoted as runners-up in the
South West Peninsula League. •
Cadbury Heath, champions of Division One. •
Melksham Town, runners-up in Division One. •
Gillingham Town, third in Division One. •
Winterbourne United, promoted from the
Hellenic League. • Only
Brislington and
Hallen applied for promotion to Step 4 (Southern League Division One South & West), and one of them would have been promoted if their application had been accepted and that club won the league. If neither club won the league, one could have been promoted if a second- or third-place finish had been achieved. They could not both win promotion. However, Brislington failed to achieve the required ground grading, and Hallen failed to finish in a top three position, so no club was promoted.
