Perry Street and District League

The Perry Street and District League, commonly known as the Perry Street League, is a football competition with clubs from south Somerset, west Dorset and East Devon, England. The league was formed in 1903 by Charles Edward Small, the owner of the Perry Street Lace Works, who is commemorated by the three spools of lace depicted on the league's crest. The badge depicts the three Counties participating in the Perry Street & District Football League as follows: the wyvern of Somerset, three castles for Dorset and the sailing boat for Devon.

The league started with 5 teams – Perry Street Works, Combe Wanderers, Holyrood Mills, Axminster Town and Horton Rovers.

Today the league has a total of three divisions including the Perry Street League Premier Division. The Perry Street League is a member of the Joint Liaison Committee comprising the Somerset County League and other feeder leagues within the county. The Perry Street League is affiliated to the Somerset County FA.

South Petherton won the 2005–06 Premier Division title, a feat they repeated in 2006–07 and again in 2007–08. They finished second in the 2008–09 season as Crewkerne took the title, and second again in the 2009–10 to Lyme Regis. South Petherton again won the league in the 2010–11 season.

The fixtures and results can be found in the local Chard & Ilminster Newspaper; the Weekender and View From titles also offer extensive coverage reports and previews.

Following the AGM meeting at the end of the 2022-23 season, the decision was made to reduce the league structure from four divisions down to three divisions for the upcoming 2023-24 season.
