The FA has this lunchtime published its league allocations for Step 5 for next season.
Rangers will be staying in the UCL North for 2026/2027.
The big news is that local rivals Bourne Town got a reprieve from Step 4 relegation as a result of Cornish side Mousehole's recent application for voluntary demotion.
We also lose the derby with Wisbech, who move in the Eastern Counties league, along with UCL Prem South side March. Some derby to come between those two sides.
There are only 18 sides in our division next season. New arrivals from UCL South are play off side Aylestone Park, Hinckley and Leicester Nirvana. We also see the world's oldest football club, Sheffield FC arrive from the Northern league.
All FA league allocations are pending appeal.
