Premier Division
The Premier Division features two new clubs in a league of 19, reduced from 21 after the promotion of Larkhall Athletic to the Southern League, and the relegation of Hengrove Athletic and Radstock Town to the First Division. Ilfracombe Town also left, resigning from the league shortly before the start of the season:[1]
- Bradford Town, champions of Division One.
- Shepton Mallet, runners-up in Division One.
Exmouth Town finished runners-up in the South West Peninsula League but were refused promotion due to ground grading issues.
The following clubs applied for promotion to Step 4: Brislington, Bristol Manor Farm, Melksham Town and Slimbridge.[2] Melksham Town's new stadium was not ready and their existing stadium failed the ground grading.
There is not certain to be any relegation this season as the division is not full.
