West Lancashire Football League
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The West Lancashire Football League is a football competition based in northern England. Its top division, the West Lancashire Football League Premier Division, sits at step seven of the National League System and is a feeder league for the North West Counties Football League, although promotion and relegation is based upon application to the National League System Panel. The league runs two additional divisions that feed the Premier Division and two reserve divisions. The Lancashire Amateur League is a feeder to the West Lancs League.
The league was formed in 1904, although 1905-06 was the first season that it was played for. It was originally known as the Preston & District Combination, with member clubs having to be within 10 miles of Preston. It became the West Lancashire League in 1908, and now covers the whole of modern Lancashire, plus areas of Cumbria, Greater Manchester, and Merseyside.
In past seasons the league has included former Football League side Nelson F.C. and current Football Conference side Morecambe F.C..
