Last updated : Tuesday, 23 April 2024

The Teesborough Sunday League is an amateur football league based in the Teesside area of England. It was founded in 1961/62 as the Sunday Friendly Football League, and was renamed the Teesborough Football League in the late 1960s.

History

The Teesborough Sunday League was founded in 1961/62 by Mr. Norman Maughan. Mr. Maughan was a player and manager at Clairville FC, and he wanted to create a league for teams that were unable to compete in the Middlesbrough and District Sunday League.

The inaugural season of the Teesborough Sunday League saw just six teams compete. However, the league quickly grew in popularity, and by the early 1970s it had expanded to 12 teams. The league has continued to grow in recent years, and it now has over 50 teams competing in its two divisions.

Divisions

The Teesborough Sunday League currently has two divisions:

Premier Division
Division 1

The Premier Division is the top flight of the league, and is made up of 10 teams. Division 1 is the second tier of the league, and is made up of 12 teams.

Season

The Teesborough Sunday League season runs from September to April, with each team playing each other twice. The top two teams in the Premier Division at the end of the season are promoted to the Northern League, while the bottom two teams are relegated to Division 1.
