Central Football
The Central Football league is an amateur football league competition for clubs in the Central Belt of Scotland. It was formed in 1927 and is sponsored by Foster's Lager. The association is affiliated to the Scottish Amateur Football Association.
Structure
The Central Scottish AFL is split into two divisions, a Premier Division of 12 teams and a 24-strong Division One (split into Division 1A and 1B). The bottom two teams from the Premier League are automatically relegated to Division 1, being replaced by the winners of each of the two sections, and the team which finishes 3rd from bottom is entered into a round-robin playoff with the two teams who finished second in each of Division 1A and Division 1B - the winner secures a place in the Premier Division. Division One sections are determined by a draw at the association's Annual General Meeting.
Current season
The current season is the 96th season of the Central Scottish AFL. The Premier Division is currently led by Linlithgow Rose, who have won the title 10 times. The current holders of the John Smiths Inter League Trophy are the Central Scottish AFL.
