Our league began officially in the 1951-52 season although competitive matches on an informal basis were played before then. Indeed, many of the players who formed the league played in local matches in 1948 before National Service disrupted things.
In 1950-51 the first Rotary Cup occurred which provided the impetus for local players to create the league as most entrants were from the Knutsford and Mobberley area. The first winner was M.Pemberton (Knutsford Conservative Club) who beat Charlie Worsley (Mobberley Victory Hall) in the final.
The Rotary cup has continued to provide a much more even ‘playing field’ for all the league players and although the cream has often risen to the top (despite the best efforts of the league Trophy & Competition Secretary!!) a quick glance at the history section will soon show the wide variety of former winners.
