South Wales Amateur League

The South Wales Amateur League was a former football league in South Wales. The league consisted of two divisions, named Divisions One and Two. Division One was a feeder to the Welsh Football League Division Three, and sat at level 5 of the Welsh football pyramid.

History

The league began in the 1946–47 season as the South Wales Corinthian League acting to bridge the gap between local football leagues and the Welsh Football League. Eleven clubs entered the inaugural championship with Dinas Corries claiming the first title.

The league was merged with South Wales Senior League in the 2015–16 season to form South Wales Alliance League.
