  North Caledonian Football League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North Caledonian Football League (NCFL) is an amateur football (soccer) league operating in the highlands of Scotland.
At the start of season 2003-2004 the league was due to consist of 11 clubs when Inverness City FC were elected to replace Alness United who had applied to join the Scottish Junior Football Association's Northern Region.
The NCFL is characterised by the number of clubs who use it as a 'stepping-stone' to try and either join the Highland League or join the 'junior' grade of football.

 Glasgow Celtic at eleven-a-side.com, the home of Irish soccer
The objectives of the founding fathers of the club were simple - to alleviate the chronic poverty which existed in the parishes which proliferated the east end of Glasgow in the nineteenth and early part of the twentieth centuries.
The club's fast flowing, end to end football was both successful and attractive and when the club won the league championship for six successive seasons, 1905-10, the club enjoyed unparalleled popularity among religionists across the sectarian divide.
League titles were retained year on year with the famous nine in a row being achieved from 1966 to '74.

 SFL: Scottish Football League
Prior to League football, a haphazard arrangement existed with clubs arranging friendly matches, including several against leading English clubs, with the major competition being that organised by The Scottish Football Association (formed in 1873), namely the Scottish Cup, as well as the cup competitions run by the various local associations throughout Scotland.
Right from the very beginning, the League was beset by controversy and in that very first season, Renton incurred the wrath of The Scottish Football Association for playing a friendly without the approval of the Association, and as a result, were expelled from the Association, thereby preventing them from continuing their participation in the League.
January, 1994, Caledonian Thistle (soon to change to Inverness Caledonian Thistle) and Ross County were admitted to The Scottish Football League with effect from season 1994/95 and a new format of four divisions of ten clubs was created which would introduce more exciting matches with promotion and relegation being a significant factor in every match.

With hopes of a first league title in 30 long years looming large, the Jags had two home and two away games in which to collect seven points, but defeats by Keith(2-1) and Peterhead (2-0), both at Victoria Park, put paid to the vain hopes of the long suffering Buckie public.
The Club’s centenary was celebrated in 1989, with the generous construction and donation to the club by Mr John Duncan, a local businessman, of a new cover to the South terracing, replacing the one which had originally been built in 1953 by the Supporters Club.

Nap hand Jags demolish their visitors as Shearer lights blue touch paper and retires(to the dugout).The North Cup Holders challenge proved to be a damp squib, as the Jags domineered them from the first whistle to the last at drizzle-drenched Victoria Park.
Whatever the reason, this reinforcement of their close ties paid early dividends, for with less than ten seconds played, the Jags had won possession off their visitors, moved upfield in numbers and when Jamie Shewan swept over a cross to the far post, Buckie’s own “Jumping Jack”, JOHN COUTTS was there to head home.
The latecomers missed a special goal, but the Jags were rampant, even at this early stage and it was clear that this wouldn’t be a one goal wonder, as play was concentrated in the Forres half for long spells, even in the opening phase of the game.

Meanwhile a faction of individuals started working to eliminate professionalism entirely from the league, pointing to the great success enjoyed by the Municipal League which frequently drew crowds of thousands of non-paying individuals to their games, compared to the relatively paltry crowds who had to pay admission for SLSL games.

The Municipal League enjoyed a very successful first season, and did even better in its second, expanding to 28 teams in four divisions, with St. Matthew's defeating Claxton 2-1 in the playoffs to win the league title.
