HELLENIC REDUCED BY FOUR

THE Uhlsport Hellenic League will have four fewer clubs competing at senior level next season.

Premier Division side Brackley Town Saints, Division One East outfits Didcot Town Development and Marlow United and Division One West New College Swindon have all pulled out.

It means the Premier division will run with 18 clubs rather than 20 next season due to Ascot United moving sideways to the Combined Counties Premier a year ago,

But Division Two has been expanded from three regional divisions to four because of the number of clubs who have asked to join, said league secretary John Ostinelli.
