Division One South & West

Shortly before the start of the season Andover resigned from the league and folded. No replacement club was admitted and the season was played with 21 clubs.^[2] Therefore, relegation zone was reduced to one place in order to make up the numbers for the 2012–13 season.

Division One South & West consisted of 21 clubs, including 17 clubs from previous season and four new clubs:

• Three clubs relegated from the Premier Division:
  • Didcot Town
  • Halesowen Town
  • Tiverton Town

• Plus:
  • Poole Town, promoted as champions of the Wessex League

Bideford won the division and were promoted to the Premier Division along with play-off winners Gosport Borough. Stourport Swifts finished bottom of the table and were relegated.
