The Chester and District Sunday League was formed in 1963 to run alongside the well-established Saturday League which had been in existence for 70 years since 1894. The inaugural season in 1964 had 20 teams formed into 2 sections, 1965 saw a 3rd section added and in 1970 a 4th, the League steadily grew into 48 teams across the 4 sections by 2000. The League Cup started in 1964 along with the League, the FA Cup competition was introduced in 1968, the Bill Gresty Memorial Trophy as a knockout competition in 1994. Over the last 60 years there have been some 600+ teams from the area, one or two of our current members have been in existence for 50+ years. However since the Millennium with the introduction of Sky Sports and Sunday trading the League has been reducing year on year to its present compliment of 13 teams from Chester, Ellesmere Port and the surrounding area. Over the years the League can boast that it has had ex professional players from Chester and Wrexham in its ranks to the benefit of the League.
