Aveley will remain in the Premier Division next season.

Their reprieve from relegation was confirmed at the Ryman League's annual meeting at Brighton on Saturday. It was also confirmed that Soham Town Rangers will switch to Division One North from the Southern League, becoming the first Cambridgeshire club in the league's 106-year history.
The prize for the League Cup winners next season will be more than doubled, to £4,000.
There was a special presentation to Bruce Badcock, who retired from the post of league secretary after six years. He will continue to help the league in other capacities while Kellie Discipline becomes secretary.
The meeting was followed by a very successful annual dinner, attended by more than 500 people including Dragons' Den star Theo Paphitis, head of league sponsors Ryman. They have agreed a new three-year deal which will mean that they have sponsored the league for 17 years, surely a unique record.
The manager of the season awards were announced and the winners was the bosses of the three divisional champions: Paul Doswell (Sutton), John Coventry (East Thurrock) and Jimmy Cooper (Met Police). Teams of the season were Bury Town, Wingate & Finchley and Whitehawk while Harrow Borough's achievement in reaching the first round of the FA Cup and the Premier Division play-offs was recognised with the Barry East Trophy.
