The following season the remaining clubs in the Yorkshire and Lancashire Leagues were re-organised to form a second division. 1905–1970: Restructure In 1905–06 the two divisions were re-combined into a single competition. Clubs played all the teams in their own county on a home-and-away basis, results counting towards the re-formed Yorkshire and Lancashire Leag ...
