Bashley's First-Team will remain in the Southern League Division One South (step 4) for the 2024-25 league campaign.

Next season will make it the Black and Gold's third successive term in the division since returning via promotion in 2022.

The Division One South table welcomes outfits Helston Athletic, Falmouth, Shaftesbury and Cinderford following their promotions, as well as Didcot Town who suffered relegation and Thatcham have moved laterally.

The allocations means Bashley's furthest trip remains Mousehole AFC, with even more miles to make up with the likes of more local sides Wimborne and Frome earning promotion.

Furthermore, the league grows from 19 sides (following Hamworthy's resignation) to now 22 teams; meaning there will be 42 league outings from 36 for Dave Lewis' squad.

Meanwhile, if going by mileage, then the longest journey in the league next season will be Didcot to Mousehole - a staggering 544-mile round trip.

League calendar commences on Saturday 10th August 2024.

Fixtures will be announced in due course.
