THE FA has announced a restructure of the National League system.

It does not directly affect Andover Town or Andover New Street, but several teams have moved in and out of their division - the Wessex League Division One.

From last season’s league, Alton, Hythe & Dibden, U.S.Portsmouth have moved upwards into the Wessex League Premier Division, and Ash United, Bush Hill, Fleet Spurs, Infinity have all been moved either laterally or upwardly into Division One.

A statement from the FA said: “We can now confirm that the National League System (NLS) restructure at Steps 4-6 has been completed and the club allocations for the 2021-22 season have been confirmed, subject to FA Council ratification.

“The restructure will see 107 clubs in total upwardly moved within the pyramid at Steps 4-6 in order to facilitate the new divisions, with a new additional division at Step 4 and two additional new divisions at Step 5 and a reduction of divisions, from 20 to 17, at Step 6.

“The restructure will have a positive impact on a significant number of clubs, supporting them with reduced travel and costs and providing greater opportunities for generating income via localised fixtures.”
