Great Western Combination


The Great Western Combination was a football league in south-central England.

History

The league was established in 1939, initially as a wartime competition as many other leagues had been abandoned following the outbreak of World War II. Its original membership was amateur clubs from the area west of London. Although it ceased in 1945, it was re-established in 1946 and a second division was added in 1947; this became the reserve division in 1956. The league folded at the end of the 1963–64 season.
