East Northumberland League

The East Northumberland League (ENL) was a football league that existed in Northumberland from 1894 to 1910.

Overview
The ENL was made up of teams chiefly from the mining areas of Northumberland. However, the teams had chronic instability, with no team playing in the league for the full period of the league's existence, and more than half lasting for only a single year or less. At least two champions of the league, Ashington and Blyth Spartans, are still in existence however. Both of these teams went on to join the Northern Football Alliance shortly after their successes in the ENL.
