Dron benefit from Step six shake-up

Wendron United are set to be included in the new two-division South West Peninsula League Premier after the league published an update regarding the allocation of teams to its new divisions.

There are 40 places available in the new SWP Premier East and West divisions, with 32 of those set to be filled by current Premier and Division 1 East and West sides that already meet ground grading criteria.

The remaining eight spaces are likely to be filled by 11 teams in ‘priority group three’ which included Wendron United and Mousehole of Division 1 West.

But three of those clubs chose not to submit a formal application, leaving the remaining eight sides in pole position to join should they all fulfill ground grading criteria.

Those eight clubs are: Honiton Town, Mousehole, Stoke Gabriel, Wendron United, Brixham, Dobwalls, St Dennis, Torridgeside.
