Cherry Red Books Middlesex County Football League
The Cherry Red Books Middlesex County Football League is an amateur football league based in England loosely drawing teams from the central, northern and western parts of Greater London. The league was founded in 1984 and initially had only one division, although it has since expanded greatly. It currently has a total of seven divisions.
History
The Middlesex County League was founded in 1984 as a single division. One year later, the league expanded to include a second division (Division One). In 1991 the league added a third tier, Division Two, which was discontinued during 1996–2002. On its reinstatement a fourth tier was also created (Division Three). For the 2006–07 season the league added a fifth level and the fourth level was regionalised. The divisions were named Division Three East and Division Three West. A further re-organisation in 2007–08 saw growth and the league expanded to six divisions: Division One acquired its split (into East and West), Division Three East was renamed Division Three, and a new Division Four was created. In 2017, the league expanded to seven divisions with the addition of a new Division Two.
