Hi

I was recently offered a medal from 1947/48 div 1 of the B & W A F L. Anybody out there know what league this was for and who won it in that year? Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers John

I came up with this:

but can't find any history regarding the league. Might be / might not be what you are looking for.

Maybe some of our Scouse forum members could verify?

The only thing Google comes up with is the
West Australia Football League.
See here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Australian_Football_League

You may have already have found this though.

Cheers, Jamie.

The best I could come up with was:
B&W Australian Football League

I think Rocky has got it - tend to get a lot of merseysiders retiring down our way so it would make sense. I wasnt able to find much out about the league. Thanks for your help lads.

WAFL is the West Australian Football League, not soccer but Aussie Rules.

John, I think the answer could be a bit closer to home.

Birkenhead and Wirral Amateur Football League.

regards, Mark

Sorry, just read Rockys link

I asked my old fella - he played for Upton in The West Cheshire League when he was 18 (1948-9) - he doesn't know either.
