• Angmering Seniors – joined from the West Sussex League
• Brighton Electricity – joined from the Brighton, Worthing & District League
• Copthorne – joined from the Mid-Sussex League

Also, Clymping F.C. changed their name to Littlehampton United

Promotion from this division depends on ground grading as well as league position.
