Division Three was scrapped after only one season, and the league reverted to the previous two-division format. The champions for the second time in their history were Glastonbury, and the winners of Division Two were Stonehouse.
Division One
Division One remained at eighteen members with two clubs promoted to replace Soundwell and Bath City Reserves, who were relegated to Division Two.
Division Two
Division Two was increased from eighteen clubs to twenty, after Barnstaple Town and Dorchester Town were promoted to Division One, and Bristol Aeroplane Company and Douglas left the league. Six new clubs joined:
1 The system of using goal average to separate two teams tied on points was used up to and including the 1976–77 season.
2 The points system: 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for losing.
3 The tables as published at the time contained errors, hence the totals do not balance in some columns.
