The AGM, which this year was held on video conferencing software Zoom, saw nine new teams join the fray.

It brings the total in the league up to 50 and means there will be one new division added, with each of the five steps now holding 10 teams each.

AFC London Road, who were declared joint winners of the Herts Sunday Senior Cup after reaching the final last year, will have a reserve side play in Division One.

The new season will also see the introduction of Player Packs, Little Heath, Verulam Old Boys, Borehamwood Raiders, Borehamwood Rovers, Wheathampstead Wanderers, Welwyn Pegasus and FC Welwyn.
