The Southern Combination League champions’ return to the South Division was rubber-stamped as the Football Association announced the make-up of the 2016-17 Non-League pyramid on Thursday.

The whole list 72 clubs set to compete in the Ryman’s Premier, North and South divisions was confirmed following the annual end-of-season reshuffle at Steps 1-4 by the FA’s Leagues Committee at Wembley.

The league’s constitution is subject to appeal and will be confirmed at the Ryman League’s AGM on Saturday, June 18, at the Hilton Hotel, Wembley.

The division will also feature two clubs new to the league, Southern Counties East League champions Greenwich Borough and Godalming Town, switched sideways from the Evo-Stik League Southern’s Central Division after the Surrey outfit’s tenth-placed finish in April.

Relegated Lewes and Cray Wanderers also joined the division.
