The league featured teams from 19 clubs, including seven reserves teams. Eighteen of the clubs had competed in the league the previous season and they were joined by Herne Bay who joined from the Athenian League[1]
Two teams adopted names of the newly formed local government districts in which they were situated: Chatham Town were renamed Medway;[2] Folkestone Reserves were renamed Folkestone & Shepway Reserves.[3]
The league was won by Sheppey United, their second league title in three years.[4]
At the end of the season, after two seasons in the division, Canterbury City Reserves resigned from the league and both bottom clubs, Dover Reserves and Folkestone & Shepway Reserves, were re-elected to continue their membership of the league.[5]
