Essex Senior Football League

Its current Premier Division includes clubs from towns and districts such as Basildon, Barking, Benfleet, Halstead, Harwich, Ilford, Romford, Saffron Walden, Woodford and the Essex coast. These examples describe the current reach of the league, rather than a fixed boundary or permanent club list.

Premier and reserve football

The league currently operates a Premier Division alongside a Reserve Division for reserve and under-23 sides. That structure gives member clubs a senior first-team competition as well as a separate programme for second teams and development squads.

League fixtures are usually scheduled on Saturdays, with some evening and holiday matches. The annual programme also includes the Errington Challenge Cup, Len Cordell Memorial Trophy, Peter Butcher Memorial Trophy and Reserve Shield, alongside clubs’ participation in FA competitions where eligible.
