The Crawley and District Football League was a football competition in England which was founded with a single division in 1956âÂÂ57. It expanded to three divisions in 1957âÂÂ58; most of the teams came from the expansion of the industrial estate. In the 1980s the league had eight divisions, with the league taking in teams from leagues in Surrey.
With the demise of the large factories teams folded, new pubs teams entered and gradually the league went down to three divisions. The then-committee decided to fold the league. During it heyday many clubs moved up into the Sussex County League (SCL) when a better pyramid system was adopted. Dorking Wanderers have been the most successful club to be in the league make there way to the National League one step from the Football League. After the 2005âÂÂ06 season, South Park made the jump into the CCL. The Crawley & District League Premier Division sat at step 7 (or level 11) of the National League System. 2008âÂÂ09 Champions Bletchingley transferred to the Surrey Elite Intermediate League in 2009âÂÂ10. In 2009âÂÂ10 Merstham Newton went the entire league season unbeaten to become Premier Division Champions for the second time in five years.
At the end of the 2009âÂÂ10 season, the league disbanded and its member clubs joined the Mid-Sussex League or the West Sussex League.
