Football league season
The 2022–23 Wessex Football League season was the 37th in the history of the Wessex Football League since its establishment in 1986. The league consists of two divisions: the Premier Division and Division One.
The constitution was announced on 12 May 2022.[1]
Premier Division
The Premier Division was reduced from 21 clubs to 20, after Bashley and Hamworthy United were promoted to the Southern League South Division; Alton were transferred to the Combined Counties League, and Amesbury Town were relegated to Division One.
Three new teams joined the division:
- The club finishing the season in second position was initially required to play in an inter-step playoff with a team from step 4. Due to ground grading failures higher up the pyramid, three step 4 clubs were reprieved, and the three step 5 runners-up with the highest PPG (points per game) were automatically promoted. Bemerton Heath Harlequins were one of those three.
