History
The SDAFL was founded in 1921 by a group of local football enthusiasts. 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 Merseyside.
The SDAFL has seen a number of changes over the years, including the introduction of new divisions and cup competitions. The league has also been affected by the rise of professional football in the area, with many clubs leaving the SDAFL to join the professional leagues.
Despite these changes, the SDAFL remains a popular and important part of the local football scene. The league provides a competitive environment for amateur footballers of all abilities and helps to promote the sport in the area.
