Scunthorpe & District Football League
The Scunthorpe & District Football League is a football league formed in 1921 catering for clubs in and around Scunthorpe, England. It is not a formal member of the English football pyramid.
The league first started as regional league with no promotion or relegation to the lower divisions. In the 1960s the league added automatic promotion and the league grew to 5 divisions. By the turn of the century the league still operated 4 divisions.
With the growth of nearby clubs entering the Lincolnshire county league, membership numbers have dropped and the league now operates with 2 divisions of 17 clubs.
Due to a sponsorship deal, the league is currently known as the TSW Printers Scunthorpe & District Football League.
