Wiltshire Senior League
Feeder Leagues to
Wiltshire Senior League
The top three clubs in each of the Swindon & District and Trowbridge & District Leagues are eligible to apply for promotion to the Wiltshire Senior League at the end of each season.  Up to two clubs in total, one from each league, could be accepted for promotion if meeting the necessary ground grading requirements. At the same time, the Wiltshire Senior League would relegate up to two clubs. 

A very brief history of these two district leagues is shown below.
Swindon & District League
 The Swindon & District League is the oldest league in the county of Wiltshire having been formed in 1891. Initially the league ran as a knockout cup competition only but changed to a league format for the first time in 1894. This initially proved difficult to administer and the league reverted back to a knockout cup format in 1897 before going back to a league format in 1899-1900.

The league, like our own, used to be much larger in terms of the number of teams in its constitution but is currently having a resurgence running three divisions for Season 2018-19.

The league became a formal feeder league to the Wiltshire Senior League with effect from Season 2016-17 although it has provided many sides to the Wiltshire Senior League over the years under the previous informal arrangements, including the likes of Walcot, Meadowcroft, Wootton Bassett Sports, Raychem SSC and Blyskawica. The first side to be promoted under the new formal arrangements were Bassett Bulldogs who came up to the Wiltshrie Senior League for Season 2017-18 but have since returned to the Swindon & District League.

Details of the winners of the Swindon & District League Premier Division (top division) and Division 1 post the Second World War are shown below.

Trowbridge & District League
The Trowbridge & District League is another of the oldest leagues in the county of Wiltshire having been established in 1897.

Initially for the first nine years of its existence the league had one division but in 1906-07 a second division was added. After the Second World War the league continued to grow and a third division was added for Season 1957-58 and a fourth division in Season 1970-71 although this division ceased to exist after Season 1993-94.

The league currently operates two divisions. Like the Swindon & District League it became a formal feeder league to the Wiltshire Senior League with effect from Season 2016-17.
