North Eastern League Cup |
The North Eastern League was a regional Scottish football competition held during the Second World War, due to the suspension of the Scottish Football League. Held between 1941 and 1945, 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.
