History


The competition was formed in 1983 as the result of a merger between two long standing competitions -


- The Hatchard League, formed in 1894 and named after a local politician who donated the trophy to the Sheffield & Hallamshire FA. It disbanded in 1923 but reformed after the Second World War.


- The Sheffield Association League, formed in 1897. In 1960 the league was renamed the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League, a name that was retained by the new competition.


In 2011 the Football Association awarded the league's top division Step 7 status (level 11 overall) in the English football league system.[1]



Format


For the first nine seasons of its existence the league ran with four divisions, but since 1992 there have been three divisions.


Teams play each other twice a season, and there is promotion and relegation between each division at the end of the season. As a Step 7 league, one Premier Division club per season can gain promotion to Step 6 (usually the Northern Counties East League), but the applying club must finish inside the top five at the end of the season and achieve the required ground grading standard.


Reserve teams of clubs higher up the league pyramid play in the league, but only three are allowed to play in the step 7 Premier Division.
