History

The league was established in 1939, initially as a wartime competition as many other leagues had been abandoned following the outbreak of World War II. Its original membership was amateur clubs from the area west of London. [1] Although it ceased in 1945, it was re-established in 1946 and a second division was added in 1947; [1] this became the reserve division in 1956. The league folded at the end of the 1963–64 season. [1]
