CHIPPENHAM Town and Frome Town can both look forward to clashes with local rivals next season after next season's Southern League Premier Division line-up was released.

Chippenham are set renew acquaintances with nearby Cirencester Town, who come up as Division One South and West champions, whilst play-off winners Paulton Rovers, who are based less than 12 miles away from rivals Frome, have also been promoted.
