The league's history traces its formation to a meeting in November 1961, when local teams organised an affiliated competition. Its first fixtures were played on Sunday 14 January 1962. That origin remains central to the league's identity as a local Sunday-football competition.

Competition structure

The current league has a Premier Division and additional divisions, giving adult teams a divisional programme alongside cup football. Clubs play at grounds across the Chelmsford area and nearby parts of Essex. FA Full-Time provides the live record of fixtures, results, tables and current team allocations.

For clubs and players

The league's official site includes information for clubs interested in joining. Players looking for a Sunday team can use the current clubs and competition information to identify a suitable side, then contact that club directly.
