League allocations for season 2019/20

Clubs across the county now know which teams have been placed in their leagues for the 2019/20 season.

Newly-promoted Tonbridge avoid trips to Gloucester and Oxford City in National League South after both teams were placed in National League North.

All four relegated sides from the National League - Aldershot, Braintree, Havant and Maidstone - were, as expected, placed in National League South.

Four teams were promoted to the Bostik Premier, including Bostik South East champions Cray Wanderers, while East Thurrock were relegated to this division from step two.

FA Vase finalists Cray Valley were promoted to Bostik South East where other new faces include promoted Chichester and relegated Burgess Hill and Whitehawk.

Greenwich were relegated from that division to the top flight of the Southern Counties League Premier Division - where they will meet Division 1 champions Welling Town and runners-up Erith & Belvedere, who were also promoted.

Division 1 only has 17 teams allocated with no promotion or relegation with the top flight of the Kent County League. That means a reprieve for bottom side Meridian while Croydon and Rusthall's relegations from the Premier Division were also confirmed.

The Southern Counties East League stated on their website that "Staplehurst Monarchs United and Peckham Town have been denied places in the SCEFL First Division due to Ground Grading issues. Both have appealed this decision and if are successful could still join us in the coming weeks."
