A new logo was introduced, changing the design for the first time since the League was formed.

With the introduction of new Senior Status standards by the Wiltshire County Football Association, an Intermediate Status was introduced and the League amended its Rules accordingly.

The Intermediate Division was sponsored by Plaister Auto Services.
