FA approve next season's pyramid

The Ryman League's clubs can start planning for next season in earnest after the Football Association approved the allocation of clubs across the top levels of Non-League’s pyramid system on Thursday.

Relegated Conference South sides Hayes & Yeading United and Tonbridge Angels join the Ryman League Premier Division along with all the clubs promoted internally - Peacehaven & Telscombe, VCD Athletic, Leatherhead and Witham Town.

In the Ryman League South Division, Redhill were reprieved from relegation and will be joined by Carshalton Athletic, relegated from the top flight. They'll be joined by promoted clubs East Grinstead Town from the Sussex County League and South Park from the Combined Counties League.

The Ryman League’s North Division undergoes arguably the biggest shake-up following the news from Wembley with Ware leaving the Isthmian League after they were switched sideways into the Southern League.

Three of the four clubs relegated from the Ryman League’s top flight also drop down into the division - Cray Wanderers, Thamesmead Town and Wingate & Finchley.

Coming up are Great Wakering Rovers from the Essex Senior League and Brightlingsea Regent from the Eastern Counties League while Wroxham were the second Isthmian League club to avoid the drop to Step 5 after they won a reprieve with Redhill.
