NEW LEAGUE: LANCASHIRE COUNTY LEAGUE
Representing the towns in the centre of the county, the Lancashire County League has come about as a result of the rejection of the Blackburn and Burnley clubs by the Manchester and District League and of the Preston-based Ribble club by the Liverpool and District League. Those teams joined together and decided that if the city-based competitions where not going to consider admitting them, they would form their own competition. Three more clubs have joined them, making another six-team competition playing a thirty game schedule.
Of the clubs from the larger towns,
Blackburn Alexandra take their name from their home ground at Alexandra Meadows, and in honour of Alexandra, the Princess of Wales. Their jerseys are pale red, almost pink, with the club initials embroidered in blue.
Burnley Bank Top's name is taken from that of the railway station which is very near to their home ground. They play in gold jerseys, with the club initials on the chest in dark red.
Ribble Viaduct are named after a nearby river, or more specifically the railway bridge which runs over the Ribble near to their home field. They play in tan coloured jerseys with stripes in a paler shade and the word 'Ribble' across the chest.
Those clubs are joined by three from smaller towns to make up the numbers. The name of
Accrington Willows comes from the lane which runs past their home ground. They play in pale green jerseys with their initials embroidered in brown.
Over Darwen simply use the name of their town, and they play in blue jerseys with gold trimming.
Chorley Stump’s name comes from a nearby house. Their jerseys are grey, with thin red stripes.
