Western Football LeagueThe Western League is a football league in the south west of England. Recent restructuring of the English football league system has placed its two divisions of twenty clubs each at the ninth and tenth tiers overall, known as Step 5 and Step 6 of the National League System, below the Western Division of the Southern League. Below the Western League are five local leagues covering even smaller areas, the Somerset Senior League, South Western League, Wiltshire League, Devon County League, and Gloucestershire County League. The Western League's current main sponsor is Screwfix Direct. The league was formed in 1892 as the Bristol & District League, and became the Western League in 1895. (There is also a Bristol & District League today, but this is a feeder league to the Gloucestershire County League). In the years before the Second World War, many teams played in both the Southern and Western Leagues; the Western League was considered as subservient to the Southern League.
