    Clubs agree to change the name of the League

    The New League Logo

    After being known as the Lancashire Evening Post Sunday Football League since its inception in 1967, member clubs have supported the management committee’s recommendation to change the name of the League and from the Annual General Meeting on Monday 18 June the league will be known as;

    The Lancashire Sunday Football League

    The decision to change of name of the League followed a dispute with an international company over image rights. The dispute had nothing whatsoever to do with the Lancashire Evening Post or its associated companies and we look forward to continuing our excellent relationship with the newspaper.

    The League management committee is grateful to the Lancashire Evening Post and its staff, past and present, for their help and support and we will always remember that this League was formed by employees of the Newspaper.

    Eamonn McNamara.
