Southern Football League
Link to the Official Website for up to date results and league tables for the Southern Football League.
The Southern Football League was formed in the 1894/95 season. It became the top league in the south of England and Wales outside of the Football League (effectively step 1 of the Non League Pyramid). This changed with the formation of the Alliance Premier League (what is now the National League) in 1979/80. The Southern Football League now sits at step 3 of the Non League Pyramid.
Geographically speaking the league stretches from the South Coast to the Midlands (excluding the London, South East area which is generally covered by the Isthmian League).
Leicestershire teams have taken part in this league for a number of seasons, first appearing in 1923/24 then being almost a permanent fixture from the 1960’s onwards.
