Website History Section Update
With the premature end to the football season the opportunity has been taken to add some more historical content to the History Section of the league website. The latest additions to the website are:
  • Brief summary of each season expanded for those not previously updated. Those recently updated are Seasons 1980-81, 1984-85 to 1987-88, 1989-90 to 1991-92, 1994-95 to 1996-97 and for the 19 seasons from 1998-99 through to 2016-17. Each of the seasons can be access by either clicking on "History by Season" on the main menu or by Clicking Here.
  • For Season 1997-98 over 30 weeks worth of Vice President Ray Burroughs comprehensive weekly round-ups and results for all four divisions that were included in the various Wiltshire newspapers that supported the league that season. These can be found by either clicking on the link within the 1997-98 Season page or by Clicking Here. This was a very successful season for Corsham Town and also current clubs Melksham Town Reserves and Cricklade Town.
  • Details of the League Junior Cup and Intermediate Cup added for Season 2001-02, together with the Wiltshire Junior Cup final report for Season 2007-08.
