Tesco Cumberland County League

TESCO CUMBERLAND COUNTY FOOTBALL LEAGUE

The league was formed in 1936 and operated as the Derwent Valley League, in 1945 the league folded but in 1947 reformed and has been running ever since.

The league got into a bit of bother in 1997/1998 as funds were low and it looked as though the league was going to fold, fortunately it survived. Eric Skelton, the League’s Vice President, is the longest serving member on the committee followed by fixture secretary Herbert Briggs who joined in the 1999/2000 with Steve McMahon joining the following year as treasurer/secretary, and the pair have worked wonders ever since with various sponsorship deals being struck, the league has now got a solid financial base. Briggs and McMahon better known to the rest of the committee as the chuckle brothers are well supported by Graham Young and Helen Taylor, Colin Doorbar is the league chairman.

In 2003/2004 the league was restructured after the Carlisle & District league folded and the league became known as the Cumberland County Football League, covering a geographical area from West Cumbria to Newcastleton in Southern Scotland. At this point the League was running with two divisions consisting of 18 clubs, increasing to 22 clubs in 2006/7, however this season has seen it drop back to 20. Credit has to be given to everyone involved as many in the local FA said the league would not work but it has and is going from strength to strength. The talking point close season was the major sponsorship deal which was struck with supermarket giants TESCO, it is the first time Tesco have gone down the road of sponsoring a league, so the County League makes history and officials hope this is the start of a long relationship with Tesco.

The league has 5 Cup competitions, with each competition having its own sponsor. The Whitehaven Cup and Benevolent Cup date back to 1909 and are sponsored by CVR & ISS Waterers. Each cup is valued at £6000 and as they are sterling silver they really are worth winning.
