Answer» What is Central Midlands Football League mean? The Central Midlands Football League is an English football league covering the northeast-central part of England. Formed in 1971 as the South Derbyshire League, changing name initially to the Derbyshire League before changing to its current name in 1983, it covers parts of Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire. The league's current sponsor is Abacus Lighting. The number of divisions has varied over time as follows 1983–84: Premier, Premier First, Senior and First1984–85 to 1985–86: Premier, Central, Senior and First1986–87 to 1987–88: Supreme, Premier, First and Second1988–89 to 1990–91: Supreme, Premier and First1991–92: Supreme, Premier North and Premier South1992–93 to 2010–11: Supreme and Premier2011–12 to 2012-13: North and South2012–13 to 2014-15: North, South, Reserve Supreme and Reserve Premier2015-16 to 2016-17: North, South, Reserve Division2017-18 to 2018-19: North, South, Reserve Supreme and Division One2018–19 to 2019-20: North, South, Division One North and South2019-20 to Present: North, South, Division One North, South and CentralWithin the English football league system, the Central Midlands League's top two divisions, called the North Division and South Division, were considered part of the National League System (at Step 7) until 2020, when they were redesignated as NLS county feeders. Four clubs from the previously-named Premier Division had the distinction of being the lowest-ranked clubs, and only ones outside the NLS, accepted for the 2006–07 FA Vase. For the 2008–09 season, eight of the leading sides left the Central Midlands League to join forces with eight clubs from the Leicestershire Senior League to form a new league, the East Midlands Counties League, at Step 6 of the National League System. For the 2015–16 season reserve teams of clubs who play higher up the pyramid were allowed to participate in the league for the first time. Champions of the North Division are eligible (if they meet ground standards) for promotion to the Northern Counties East League Division One and champions of the South Division are eligible for promotion to the United Counties League and until 2019, East Midlands Counties League, and some clubs have progressed from the CML to the National League North and Northern Premier League. A representative side from the league takes part in the FA Inter-League Cup. Local leagues below the Central Midlands League on the pyramid include the Midlands Regional Alliance. In most cases these have multiple divisions or feeder leagues of their own. At the 2017 AGM it was agreed for the Reserve Division to become Division One and confirmed the new teams which would join the league for the forthcoming season. The North Division welcomed Lincoln Moorlands Railway, Staveley Miners Welfare Reserves (promoted from Reserve Division), and Renishaw Rangers, the South Division welcomed Hilton Harriers, AFC Kilburn and Aslockton & Orston. reference |
