Loughborough & District League

The Loughborough & District League was formed in 1897, at the time when there was already a junior league serving the Loughborough area (the North Leicestershire League which was formed a year earlier). The Loughborough & District League quickly took over as one of the top junior leagues in the county, regularly promoting teams to the Leicestershire Senior League.

The number of divisions grew to up to three but a decline set in during the 1920’s. Two events saw the demise of this league, the first being the creation of the Loughborough & District Amateur Football Alliance in 1931-32, and the reforming of the Leicestershire Senior League in 1934-35, both of which saw teams move from the Loughborough & District Amateur League.
