HARLOW Town have received news of their 21 opposing sides in the Ryman premier division for the 2008/09 campaign.

The shock inclusion in the make-up of the top flight is Boreham Wood, who have been thrown a lifeline to swerve relegation, despite finishing in the drop zone.

Due to Halifax Town being expelled from the Blue Square Premier, one club from each step of the non-league pyramid is likely to be given a reprieve by the FA. Wood, for one, have avoided the drop into division one north.

Dartford and Canvey Island have stepped up from the first division north section of the Ryman league, while Dover Athletic join play-off winners Tooting and Mitcham in the rise from division one south.

The final new addition comes in the form of Sutton United, relegated from the Blue Square South.

The full list of 22 Ryman premier division competitors for 2008/09 follows:

AFC Hornchurch
Ashford Town (Mx)
Billericay Town
Boreham Wood
Canvey Island
Carshalton Athletic
Dartford

Harlow Town
Harrow Borough
Hastings United
