From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North Eastern League was a regional Scottish football competition held during the Second World War, due to the suspension of Scottish Football League. Held between 1941 and 1945,[1] the competition was played in two stages each season (autumn and spring), with bonus points awarded in the second stage: initially, for teams with higher aggregate scores over the two series; latterly, for away draws/wins. There was also a North Eastern League Cup, which - along with other regional league cup competitions - helped to contribute to the present-day Scottish League Cup in 1946. As the war ended, regular league football returned in 1946, with the regional leagues disbanded.
