There was some promotion between the three Wessex League divisions, but no relegation, and Division Two was disbanded at the end of the season, leaving the league with two divisions.[1] Clubs with a specified level of facilities were promoted to Division One.

For sponsorship reasons, the league was known as the Sydenhams Wessex League.[2]
