NEW LEAGUE: DERBY AND NOTTINGHAM LEAGUE

The six-team Derby and Nottingham League gets underway this year, with teams following the format used by other leagues of six and playing a thirty game schedule. The league features two clubs from Derby, both of them works teams. Derby Union are based at the Union Iron Foundry to the north of the town, playing on a nearby field and wearing gold jerseys. Their rivals Midland Loco are the works team of the Midland Locomotive Works, to the south east of the town centre. Their jerseys are red and green and feature the emblem of the Midland Railway company, while they play directly across the Derby Canal from the works themselves.

The smallest town represented in the league is Ilkeston, whose team Ilkeston Rutland were also formed by iron workers and take the name of the factory where they were formed. Their jerseys are black with the name of the town embroidered across the chest. Yet another works team are Old Basford Bleach, based at bleach works just outside Nottingham. They too are based on a nearby field and play in light orange coloured jerseys.

The final two clubs come from Nottingham itself, and are the only two in the league who did not start out as works teams. From the north of the town come Sherwood Rise, who as their name suggests play on a hill and whose players have had to work hard to level off their home field to be suitable for entry into the league. Their jerseys are green with the club initials embroidered in gold. Finally, Trent Bridge actually play just outside the town to the south east, across the River Trent and very close to the cricket ground of the same name. Their jerseys are light blue, with darker blue sleeves.

LOGOS AND UNIFORMS:
Top Row (L-R): Derby Union, Ilkeston Rutland, Midland Loco
Bottom Row (L-R): Old Basford Bleach, Sherwood Rise, Trent Bridge
