Ilford and District Football League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ilford and District Football League was a football competition based in London, England. Founded in 1918, the league covered an area from Walthamstow in the west to Romford in the east. It consisted of up to five divisions, of which the Premier Division sat at level 13 of the English football league system. This league was a feeder to the Essex Olympian League. In the summer of 2014 it merged with the Essex Business Houses Football League to form a new combined league called the Essex Alliance Football League.[1]
