LEAGUE FORMATION
DURING THE 1970 A MEETING WAS HELD AT THE GATE HANGS HIGH TO DISCUSS THE FORMATION OF A LEAGUE BY THREE PEOPLE NAMELY KEITH HALE, ALAN JONES AND DAVE BAKER.
AFTER FINALLY GETTING THE COUNCIL TO OPEN PITCHES ON SUNDAYS. IN FEBRUARY 1971 THE N.E.W.F.A. APPROVED OUR RULES.
IN AUGUST OF THAT YEAR THE LEAGUE KICKED OFF WITH SIXTEEN TEAMS.
BY 1972 THE LEAGUE HAD TWO DIVISIONS PLUS LEAGUE CUPS AND SHELLEY CUP AND NEWFA SUNDAY CUP IN 1974.
IN THE 1980s WE BECAME THE ONLY LEAGUE IN WALES TO BE WHOLLY
SPONSORED BY BORDER BREWERIES UNTIL MARSTONS TOOK OVER THE
SPONSORSHIP IN LATE 1990.
IN 1980 THE SOUTH CLWYD SUNDAY LEAGUE AMALGAMATED WITH THE
LEAGUE AND NUMBERS OF THE LEAGUE WENT UP TO OVER 70 CLUBS.
MANY PEOPLE NEED TO BE THANKED FOR THEIR FREE TIME GIVEN OVER THE YEARS TOO MANY TO NAME, BUT WOULD LIKE TO THANK REFEREES AND OUR SPONSORS FOR SUPPORTING THE LEAGUE.
