Womens League history

I've been building a rudimentary page featuring final tables and membership lists.

So far back to 2015 is more or less complete, most of the info is still available on the web, as are the top divisions back to 2009 ish.  From there to 2000 meant digging into the WebArchive, some hits but a lit of misses (pardon the pun). I've used the BNA for the years before 2000 but these have been very sketchy. I have uncovered two champions from the 80s, Allanton Miners (1984) and Dundee Strikers (1983 and 1987). Filling in the many gaps would be most welcome!

A lot of teams changed names over the years or merged e.g. Hibs were originally Preston Athletic, Spartans were Edinburgh Ladies for a season, Celtic used to be called Arsenal North

between 2000 and 2005 the title swung between Hibs and Glasgow City. Then it was Glasgow City until last season.

Spartans were also Whitehill Welfare! And Rangers began as Arthurlie, then as Paisley City.

A fair number of teams started independently before coming under the umbrella of the professional clubs.

A quick note re the page... the tables shown for 1993-94 should be for 1994-95, so HV's name in the winners list is one year out. I'll correct these later and I'll take another look at Newtongrange's listing

I've continued to research this and now have many of the results going back to 1993 and hope to upload this to the sfha site in a week or so as it still needs some editing.

I've added results grids and League Cup results stretching back to the late 1980s.

Unfortunately, the further back you go the scarcer the reports are, but I hope that over time, and with some help, the many missing gaps will be slowly filled.

Can't begin to tell you how much I love this. Has helped fill so many gaps in what was, but not now, incomplete Partick Thistle WFC results archive. 

Massive thanks. What an massive, and outstanding piece of work. 

Edit to add: All I appear to be missing now is Thistle's Scottish Cup results, if there are any, from 2014, 2015 and 2016.

That's brilliant. Thank you so much. 

I'm wondering if we didn't enter in 2016 for some reason. I have all the other results from that season but no trace at all of any Scottish Cup tie.
