The league champions for the first time in their history were Merthyr Town, who were promoted to the Southern League. The champions of Division One were Cadbury Heath.

The Premier Division featured two new clubs in a league of 18, reduced from 19 the previous season after the relegation of Wellington and Welton Rovers, and the late resignation of Dawlish Town:

Dawlish Town withdrew from the league on 22 July 2011, after the fixtures for the new season had been announced.[1] A new fixture list was subsequently compiled.
