North Lancashire and District Football League
The North Lancashire and District Football League (currently sponsored by Baines Bagguley Penhale Solicitors) is a football competition based in England. The league was founded in 1919 and currently has a total of four divisions that sit at levels 14 to 17 on the English football league system, the highest of which is the North Lancashire and District Football League Premier Division. The league was restructured at the start of the 2015–16 season and as such there is now a total of four divisions although the league can, and has previously, accommodated up to 70 teams over five divisions. The league is not officially part of the National League System and therefore has only an informal feeder agreement with the West Lancashire Football League with applicants only being accepted on such grounds as financial stability, ground quality and ground ownership amongst others. The league generally covers the area surrounding Lancaster, Morecambe and Carnforth but there are clubs Wyre, Cumbria and North Yorkshire who also play in the league.
