East Lancashire Football Alliance
The East Lancashire Football Alliance (EAFL) is an amateur football league in the East Lancashire area of England. It was founded in 1920 and currently has over 100 member clubs. The league is divided into three divisions: Premier Division, Division One, and Division Two.
History
The EAFL was founded in 1920 by a group of football enthusiasts from the East Lancashire area. The league's first season consisted of just six clubs, but it has since grown to become one of the largest amateur football leagues in England.
The EAFL has been home to some notable players over the years, including former England internationals Peter Beardsley and David Platt. The league has also produced a number of FA Cup winners, including Accrington Stanley in 1992.
Current Season
The current season of the EAFL is underway, with the Premier Division being contested by 18 clubs. The top two teams at the end of the season will be promoted to the North West Counties League, while the bottom two teams will be relegated to Division One.
The current leaders of the Premier Division are Nelson, who have won six of their first seven games. They are followed by Barnoldswick Town and Bacup Borough.
