About South West Football

The South West covers everything from Bristol and Bath to Cornwall and Devon. The Western League and South West Peninsula League are the backbone of grassroots football in the region. Clubs like Truro City, Bath City, Taunton Town and Chippenham Town represent the best of South West non-league football. The region's remoteness from the major football centres means non-league clubs often have an especially strong community identity, and matchday atmospheres at grounds overlooking the sea or rolling countryside are unique in English football.
