History
The Premier League was founded in 1987. The inaugural season was won by the London Lions. The league has been won by a variety of teams over the years, including the Enfield Town, the Haringey Borough, and the Dulwich Hamlet.
Format
The Premier League consists of 20 teams. Each team plays each other team twice, once at home and once away. The top two teams at the end of the season are promoted to the National League South. The bottom two teams are relegated to the Combined Counties League.
Rules
The Premier League follows the standard rules of football. However, there are a few exceptions. For example, the league allows for rolling substitutions. This means that teams can make substitutions at any time during the game, as long as they have not used up their maximum number of substitutions.
