Canvey will play in Ryman League
Canvey Island have been told they will play in the Ryman League Premier Division next season after their resignation from the Conference.
The club feared they might have fallen to a lower league or even be asked to start again in the Essex Senior League.
However, the Football Association's Leagues Committee has dropped them only two levels.
They will now face a derby with Chelmsford, who are managed by former Canvey boss Jeff King.
Canvey decision rescues Tamworth
Canvey Island's request to be relegated from the Conference to the Ryman Premier League has been approved.
The Conference board accepted Canvey's request, a decision which means Tamworth will not now be relegated.
Canvey gave written confirmation that they were seeking election to a league lower down the pyramid.
The club felt unable to continue at Conference level following Jeff King's decision to scale down his investment.
King has now left Canvey for good and has become manager of Ryman Premier side Chelmsford City.
