Goals scored	1322 (2.86 per match)

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 champions 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 the demotion of clubs higher up the pyramid.
