League News
The FA Leagues Committee sat yesterday to allocate clubs to their leagues for the 2024/25 season and lunchtime today saw the publication of their decisions.
As we expected we will again be in the Southern Counties East Premier Division along with nineteen other clubs. Deal Town and Erith Town have both been promoted to the Isthmian League South-East Division, from where Erith & Belvedere drop down into our league, however Beckenham Town, who were also in the relegation places, have received a reprieve due the late withdrawal of Cirencester Town from Step Four and will remain the Isthmian South-East Division. Welling Town were of course relegated from the Premier Division and will be replaced by First Division play-off winners, Larkfield & New Hythe. First Division champions AFC Whyteleafe have been placed in the Combined Counties.
The full line up for the SCEFL Premier Division is therefore:
Bearsted
Corinthian
Erith & Belvedere
Faversham Town
Fisher
Glebe
Holmesdale
Hollands & Blair
Kennington
Larkfield& New Hythe
Lordswood
Lydd Town
Punjab United
Snodland Town
Stansfeld
Sutton Athletic
Rusthall
Tunbridge Wells
VCD Athletic
Whitstable Town
This line up is subject to appeals, of which none are expected, and then the formality of ratification at the league AGM in June.
