When did the league start?

The WW&DDL was formed in 1946 and consisted of one division of 16 teams. The format then was three straight eights of a 1001 (start & finish on a double). As it is now all teams in the league must be within a five mile radius of the Swan, West Wickham.

Are there any original members still playing?

As far as Vic Smith (the results secretary) can remember there are none of the founder members of the league still playing - the RBL Hayes are probably the longest serving team. Original members of the league included, the Swan, the New Inn (Hayes) & the Rising Sun. If anyone has any historical (or even hysterical) information about the league then please get in touch.

Who has won the league?

Back to the 1983/1984 season the Premier Division (formally the First Division) has been won by the New Studio (formally Royston 'A' and before that the Crooked Billett) 14 times. In 1985/1986 the King William won, in 1990/1991 the Crown were first & in 1992/1993 the Goldsmiths Arms topped the league. The New Studio won the top division for the next 7 years...until the 2000/2001 season when there was a new winner, the Langley Park!
