Although nothing has been finalised for next season, given that all the relevant leagues have now completed their games, we can make a reasonably educated guess about who we'll be playing in the league next season.
In 2021-22 there were 19 teams in this division. Plymouth Parkway (Champions) and Winchester City (play-off winners) have been promoted to the Premier Division. Cinderford, Mangotsfield and Barnstaple have all been relegated. That leaves 14 teams who are likely to remain in the division. In finishing order they are; Frome, Cirencester, Bristol Manor Farm, Totton, Sholing, Melksham, Paulton Rov, Highworth, Larkhall Ath, Bideford, Evesham, Slimbridge, Willand Rov, and Lymington.
Merthyr and ourselves have been relegated into this division.
Biggleswade and Lowestoft have been relegated from the Prem Div Central, but I can't see either being allocated to our league.
Hamworthy and Bashley have been promoted from the Wessex Prem.
Tavistock and Exmouth have been promoted from the Western Prem.
So, unless Merthyr, or maybe Evesham, are allocated elsewhere, that's five out and six in, which expands the division to 20 teams.
Bishops Cleeve and Westbury Utd have gained promotion from the Hellenic Prem, although they're more likely to go into the Southern League Div One Central.

Both Didcot and Kidlington have been at our level and in our leagues in the past. They are certainly much nearer to us than Evesham or Merthyr. Some of the placements don't make sense!

Some of the placements don't make sense! when at Merthyr one of there supporters was telling me that they would like to go into the central league due to the travelling involved this season.
