Lanarkshire Football Junior League

(Including the Lanarkshire Junior Football Alliance)

1891-1968

See also Main index Club directory

Formed 1891, when the Lanarkshire Junior League merged into the new SJFA Central Region in 1968, it was the oldest beside the Scottish Football League. Like all leagues in the early years, the LJL practiced a re-election procedure, accepting clubs mainly from the Lanarkshire Junior Alliance. The latter was formed a year after the LJL and was eventually absorbed as the Second Division in 1903. Unlike all Scottish leagues at the time, the LJL practiced automatic promotion and relegation, although for the first few years no clubs were actually relegated because of natural wastage. The policy was abandoned in 1910 to entice Blantyre Victoria and Burnbank Athletic back from the Scottish Junior League. The Second Division was suspended in 1915 because of the war and wasn’t restarted until 1923, before being scrapped again three years later. The Intermediate Dispute which began in 1927 saw the loss of many clubs to the Scottish Intermediate League, most of which never returned. By 1939 the league had grown again to 20 clubs but WWII saw the league suspend operations from 1941, although surviving member clubs helped form the Lanark & Lothians Junior League for the remainder of the conflict. In 1945, Croy Celtic, a Dunbartonshire club, were granted a temporary place until the Scottish Junior League restarted. The post war period also saw the league played out over two series, with the winners of the latter being declared champions. The league reverted to one division for the remainder of the 1950s and the early 1960s, but a diminishing membership saw a return to the two series championship. By the time the championship was held in 1967-68, the LJL had only 10 clubs. The merger with the Central Junior League, which had been on the agenda for a few years took place at the end of the season. The accompanying league tables and memberships were researched by the late Jackie Heaney and kindly supplied by Stewart Davidson with Robert Watson, Martin Bain and Thomas McGouran adding many tables from the 1920s to the 1960s. Additional information is taken from John Aitken’s book ‘West of Scotland Juniors 1885-2005’. Thanks also go to Norman Nicol for noting some errors in some club names.
