Champions
1920-39
The league originally consisted of a single section of 12 clubs,
and had reached a stable membership of 14 clubs when it was
abandoned on the outbreak of
World War
II.
1945-46
For the first post-War season, the league operated two regional
divisions, East and West.
1946-52
After a single split format, the league reverted to a single
division for the next six seasons.
1952-83
A second division was instituted in 1952. A two-division format
continued for over 30 years, the only deviation being in the
1962-63 season when the terrible winter made the league impossible
to finish. The normal league competitions were abandoned and a set
of emergency competitions were played for in the second half of the
season.
1983-Present
After a two division format had proved sufficient for over 30
years, a third division was added in 1983. While the top two
divisions were for clubs holding senior status with the Sussex FA,
the new Division Three was (and still is) for clubs of intermediate
status.
