Dings Crusaders were crowned champions on 13 April with a game still left to play, following their resounding win over Redruth. On the same day both Dudley Kingswinford and Newport (Salop) were relegated, as it was mathematically impossible for either to stay up following their results, even as the best placed 13th placed side in the National 2 leagues (see Structure section below).
