2017–18 Isthmian League

Football league season From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

The 2017–18 season was the 103rd season of the Isthmian League, which is an English football competition featuring semi-professional and amateur clubs from London, East and South East England. It was also the twelfth season for the current incarnations of the Premier, North and South Divisions,[1][2] the last to have two regional divisions, and the first as the Bostik League following a sponsorship deal with Bostik.[3]

In May 2017, the FA chose the Southern League to create one additional division at Step 3 and the Isthmian League to create one at Step 4 as part of the next change to the structure,[4] and in March 2018, the Northern Premier League voted to reorganise its Step 4 divisions into an east-west alignment,[5] with all Step 3 divisions contracting to 22 clubs and those at Step 4 to 20, taking effect in the 2018–19 season.

Quick Facts Season, Champions ...

North Division consisted of 24 clubs: 17 clubs from the previous season, and seven new clubs:

At the end of the season a new step 3 division was created, thus for this season three clubs were to be promoted from each step 4 divisions - champions, runners-up and play-off winners plus one third-placed club with highest points-per-game. Hornchurch won the division and returned to the Premier Division after three seasons in the North Division along with runners-up Potters Bar Town and play-off winners Haringey Borough who never competed at such level.

Norwich United finished bottom of the table and returned to the Eastern Counties League after two seasons in the Isthmian League.

At the end of the season a seventh step 4 division was created under the Isthmian League, as the South Division clubs were distributed between new South East and South Central divisions. Four North Division clubs were transferred to South Central Division. The number of clubs in the step 4 divisions was reduced to 20 for the next season.
