The Isthmian League Division One South is a football division of the Isthmian League in England. It is at the eighth tier of football in England. It runs in parallel to the Isthmian League Division One North and its champions are promoted to the Isthmian League Premier Division.

[edit] History

A previous Division One South existed for two seasons from 2002-04. The division was formed from a merger of the Isthmian League First Division and the Isthmian League Second Division at the end of the 2001-02 season, the idea being to reduce travel distance for teams in the Isthmian league.

However, the creation of the Conference South reduced the number of teams in the Isthmian League, meaning only one Division One section was necessary. The F.A., however, decided that there should be 6, rather than 4, 'step four' divisions of the National League System, again to reduce travel costs. As a result, Division One South was reformed for the 2006-07 season, taking teams from the various leagues below it.
