Glenthorne United A are the second Premier Division to fold this season, it was announced at the mid-season meeting on Monday night. They follow Bafana Bafana who withdrew several weeks ago, to leave the top-flight down to eight teams and the league with 50. AC Cricklewood, North West Neasden C and South Manx B closed down earlier in the campaign.
