2007–08 South West Peninsula League
# 2007–08 South West Peninsula League

The 2007–08 South West Peninsula League season was the first in the history of the South West Peninsula League, a football competition in England, that feeds the Premier Division of the Western Football League. The league had been formed in 2007 from the merger of the Devon County League and the South Western League, and is restricted to clubs based in Cornwall and Devon. The Premier Division of the South West Peninsula League is on the same level of the National League System as the Western League Division One.

## Premier Division

The Premier Division featured 18 teams which had played in other leagues the previous season.

Nine were from the South Western League: Bodmin Town, Falmouth Town, Launceston, Liskeard Athletic, Plymouth Parkway, St Blazey, Saltash United, Tavistock and Torpoint Athletic.

Eight were from the Devon County League: Buckland Athletic, Cullompton Rangers, Dartmouth, Elburton Villa, Holsworthy, Ivybridge Town, Newton Abbot Spurs and Witheridge.

One club, Clyst Rovers, had played in the Western League Division One during 2006–07, and had transferred directly from that league.

* There was no relegation from the league this season.
