Whaplode Drove Rovers will be playing in the Peterborough League Premier Division next season
Whaplode Drove Rovers are celebrating a belated promotion to the top flight of the Peterborough League.
A draft constitution of next season's line-up had initially placed the Peterborough Challenge Cup finalists in Division One for another campaign.
However, a revised version has been submitted subject to board alteration at the annual meeting which puts Whaplode into the Premier Division for the first time in their history.
They finished fourth in Division One last season and will be promoted alongside Stamford Bels, Netherton United and Eye Rangers (formerly Peterborough Rangers) to make an 18-team division.
Bourne Town Reserves and Crowland Reserves have both been promoted to Division One while Long Sutton have been relegated to Division Two where they will be joined by South Lincs Swifts who have been elevated from Division Three.
Long Sutton Reserves, Moulton Harrox Reserves and Whaplode Drove Reserves all remain in Division Three for the coming campaign.
Ten new teams will be playing in Division Four, including Stanton, Deeping United, Thurlby Tigers, Alconbury Weald Reserves, Kings Delph United, Thorpe Wood Rangers Reserves, Dudu Footy, Athletic, Stilton United and Yaxley A.
