From 1992 to 1996, the Football Combination operated a second division which included mainly the same clubs. The second division, including Torquay, returned for one season in 1999/2000. There was also a short-lived league for reserve teams in 2001/02 which included Plymouth Argyle, Taunton and Team Bath..
