Crawley and District Football League

The Crawley and District Football League was a football competition in England which was founded with a single division in 1956-57. It expanded to three divisions in 1957-58 and at its height ran five. In its final season, it had three divisions, headed by the Premier Division, with Divisions One and Two below. The league members could apply for promotion to the Combined Counties League or the Sussex County Football League. After the 2005-06 season, South Park made the jump into the CCL. The Crawley & District League Premier Division sat at step 7 (or level 11) of the National League System[citation needed]. 2008-09 Champions Bletchingley transferred to the Surrey Elite Intermediate League in 2009-10. In 2009-10 Merstham Newton went the entire league season unbeaten to become Premier Division Champions for the second time in five years.

At the end of the 2009-10 season, the league disbanded and its member clubs joined the Mid-Sussex League or the West Sussex League.
