After Llanelly left the league at the end of the previous season, the league consisted of 21 clubs from previous season plus Poole Town, who were elected from the Western League. Gravesend & Northfleet were champions, winning their first Southern League title. Six Southern League clubs applied to join the Football League at the end of the season, but none were successful.
