The Essex Senior League for the forthcoming season should look like the above subject to ratification at the league's AGM. Leaving the league are Champion's Bowers and Pitsea who move up to the Ryman Division One (North) and Newham who struggled playing at Tilbury last season and finished bottom of the table. They have resigned from the league and have reverted back to their old name of London APSA joining the Essex Olympian League where they have been placed in Division One.
Barkingside and Redbridge who finished in the bottom two places of the Ryman D1N should drop down and return to the Essex Senior League.
West Essex were due to play FC Assyria tonight in the Middlesex County League where a win would of won them the title. Unfortunately their opponents couldn't raise a side so they were awarded the three points which has given them the Middlesex County League Premier Division title. As their twitter feed stated they would of preferred to win it on the pitch but their achievement is still a very good one and see's the club, who currently ground share at Barking's Mayesbrook Park, move up to the Essex Senior League for next season. They still have one more game scheduled to play which is at home to CB Hounslow United Reserves on Saturday.
West Essex's spiritual home is around the Highams Park, E4 area but their first team have been ground sharing at Barking this season in order for the club to progress up the football pyramid.
If all is correct the league will run with a constitution of 22 clubs for the first time in it's illustrious history.
