Yorkshire League |
|
No relation to an earlier "Yorkshire League" that existed at the end of the
19th Century, the Yorkshire League had a 62-year long existence as the major
regional league for the three Ridings of Yorkshire, also attracting a few
members from neghbouring counties.
The league was wound up in 1982 when it merged with the Midland League
to form the Northern Counties East League
