Hemel Hempstead Town
Fearing a relegation battle after just five games, the Tudors were pointless in that spell and at rock bottom. Then Hemel Hempstead Town joined the party losing just once in the next eight to steady the ship. They proceeded with patchy form throughout the campaign and in the end, safety was easily achieved. In fact, heading down the final straight the Hertfordshire side were within two points of the playoffs, but one point from their last five outings bookended their season the way it began. They will need to tighten up next term, only Welling United conceded more goals.

Manager – Mark Jones
About to start his first full season with the club, Jones was appointed the Tudors boss just under a year ago. He had previously managed Oxford City in the National South and in his three-year spell led them to mid-table finishes and the F.A Cup first round. Before making the leap into first team management, Jones worked with the academies at Stevenage and Watford and earned a UEFA ‘A’ license coaching badge. As a player the Hemel Hempstead Town boss represented Oxford City, Aylesbury United, Harrow Borough and Thame United after starting out at Watford as an apprentice in the mid-nineties.
