Divisional champions
1997–98
For the league's first "transitional" season, the members of the amalgamating leagues were split into three tiers, "Premier", "Senior" and "Division One". The top and bottom tier were split geographically into North and South Sections.
| Season | Premier North | Premier South | Senior | One North | One South |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1997–98 | Brache Sparta | Brook House | New Bradwell St Peter | Luton Old Boys | Old Roan |
1998–2001
In 1998, the geographic sections were abolished, and a simple three-tier structure with promotion and relegation between the divisions was introduced.
| Season | Premier | Senior | Division One |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1998–99 | Barkingside | Holmer Green | Bridger Packaging |
| 1999–00 | Arlesey Town | Tring Athletic | Dunstable Town |
| 2000–01 | Beaconsfield SYCOB | Letchworth | Pitstone & Ivinghoe |
2001–date
In 2001, the Senior Division and Division One were renamed Divisions One and Two respectively.
