Pembrokeshire League
Association football league in Wales From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pembrokeshire League (currently the Manderwood Pembrokeshire League) is a football league in Pembrokeshire, West Wales, running from levels five to nine of the Welsh football league system.
| Country | Wales |
|---|---|
| Divisions | 5 |
| Number of clubs | 63 |
| Level on pyramid | 5–9 |
| Promotion to | West Wales Premier League |
| Current champions | Goodwick United (2024-25) |
| Most championships | Hakin United (20 titles since 1945) |
Teams promoted from Division One may enter the West Wales Premier League if standards and facilities fall into line with the regulations of the Welsh Football League.
The Pembrokeshire League also enters teams into the West Wales Intermediate Cup, to play against clubs from the Carmarthenshire League, Neath & District League and Swansea Senior League. With Merlins Bridge beating fellow Pembrokeshire league side Carew in the 2019 final, this meant four of the last seven winners had been Pembrokeshire League teams.
History
Newspaper articles from the early 1900s show the league existed in the pre-World War One period. The league was reformed for the 1945–46 season, and has played continuously since.
