The Spartan South Midlands Football League is an English football league covering Hertfordshire, northwest Greater London, central Buckinghamshire and southern Bedfordshire. It is a feeder to the Southern Football League or the Isthmian League, and consists of five divisions – three for first teams (Premier Division, Division One and Division Two), and two for reserve teams (Reserve Division One and Reserve Division Two).

The Premier Division is at step 5 (or level 9) and Division One at step 6 (level 10) of the National League System (NLS) respectively. Division Two, at level 11, and the reserve divisions are not part of the NLS.

History

[edit]

The Spartan South Midlands Football League was formed in 1997 following the merger of the Spartan League and the South Midlands League. The inaugural 1997–98 season operated as a transitional structure and consisted of five divisions: Premier Division North, Premier Division South, Senior Division, Division One North and Division One South. These divisions were populated by clubs from the two predecessor competitions.[1]

At the end of the first season, the two Premier Divisions were merged to form a single Premier Division for the 1998–99 campaign.[2] The two Division One sections were also discontinued after 1997–98, with the league operating a single Division One from 1998–99 onwards.[2]

Further restructuring took place in 2001. The Senior Division, which had served as the league's second tier since the merger, was renamed Division One, while the existing Division One was redesignated Division Two. This created a three‑division structure—Premier Division, Division One and Division Two—that has remained in place since.[3]

For the league's first "transitional" season, the members of the amalgamating leagues were split into three tiers, "Premier", "Senior" and "Division One". The top and bottom tier were split geographically into North and South Sections.
