Division One South consisted of 22 clubs, including 19 clubs from the previous season, and three new clubs:

  • Chatham Town, transferred from Division One North
  • Horsham YMCA, promoted as Third Place of the Sussex County League
  • Ramsgate, relegated from the Premier Division

Folkestone Invicta won the play-offs and returned to the Premier Division after two seasons of absence along with Croydon Athletic, who won the division. Walton Casuals and Eastbourne Town finished in the relegation zone but were reprieved due to the resignation of Ashford Town (Kent) and as a knock-on effect from Merthyr Tydfil's expulsion from the Southern League.
