2016–17 South West Peninsula League

Football competition in England

The 2016–17 South West Peninsula League season was the tenth in the history of the South West Peninsula League, a football competition in England, that feeds the Premier Division of the Western Football League. The league had been formed in 2007 from the merger of the Devon County League and the South Western League, and is restricted to clubs based in Cornwall and Devon. The Premier Division of the South West Peninsula League is on the same level of the National League System as the Western League Division One.

The constitution was announced on 21 May 2016.^[1]

Premier Division

Quick Facts

The Premier Division featured 20 teams, the same as the previous season, after Stoke Gabriel were relegated to Division One East, and Elburton Villa were relegated to Division One West.

Two new clubs joined the league:

Plymouth Argyle Reserves, promoted from Division One West.
Tiverton Town Reserves, promoted from Division One East.

Reserve sides are not eligible for promotion to Step 5.

Only Exmouth Town and Plymouth Parkway applied for promotion to Step 5.

With the news that Tiverton Town Reserves were resigning from the league for financial reasons at the end of the season,^[2] only one club would be relegated from the Premier Division. Also, as only three clubs satisfied the requirements for promotion from the feeder leagues, only two clubs were relegated from Division One level.
