	Southern Football League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Professionalism was sanctioned by the Football Association as early as 1885, but when the Football League was founded in 1888 it was based entirely in the north and midlands, the establishment and county FA's in the south being firmly opposed to professionalism.
		Nonetheless, after an abortive attempt the previous year, the Southern League, a competition for both professional and amateur clubs, was founded in 1894 and soon became the dominant competition outside the Football League in southern and central England.
		From 1920 on, the Southern League's status as a semi-professional league was firmly established.

		Last week, Wanstead beat Bancroft in the Essex Cup and, on Saturday, they recorded their first win of the season at the ninth attempt in the Eastern Counties League division one against Westcliff, who sit high and mighty in third place in the league table.
		The tactic of the coach, Paul Grindley, of playing a flanker at fly half and a No 8 who weighs in at 18st seems to be doing the trick.
		The divide between them and the other teams in the league is not as great as their record would suggest.
