There has been a request to add archives from the regional league since it has been running. Although we are not able to show individual results etc for many of the years we do have the final league placing for many of the past seasons. I have also added this seasons results as a start to keeping the weekly records of each season. I hope you find this entertaining.

Way back in 1994 these notes were placed inside the cup final programme as an indication and a little background to where the Eastern Region had begun.
There were 4 teams playing in the Eastern Region that were formed in the late 1960's. Town & County (1966) who were then known as the cobblers, Pye Ladies (1967) The only club at the time that was still playing at the same ground as they were when formed. Dunstable (1967) and Luton Daytels (1969) who are now known as Langford. They started playing friendlies before Town & County plus Pye's help with other teams formed the East Midlands League.
Luton & Dunstable played in the Lea Valley League. In 1977/78 both leagues joined to form the Chiltern League. In 1979/00 there were enough clubs to have two divisions. In 1981/82 season, clubs that were playing were Hemel, Hemel Reserves, Milton Keynes, Bedford College, Dunston Two Tones, Stevenage (1), Luton Women, Papworth, Launton, Luton Daytels, Town & County and Oxford.
Teams who joined afterwards:
1983 Norwich, Leighton Linslade.
1985 Arlesey, Oxford Reserves.
1986 Peterborough (1), Luton Arrows, Letchworth, Ipswich
1987 Stevenage (2), Ware
1988 Hertford
In 1989/90 both divisions joined to make one division with 12 teams. This was the last year of the Chiltern League
In 1990/91 teams from the East Anglian Women's Football League which were Racers, Stalham Seahawks, Suffolk Bluebirds, Norwich Falcons, Breydon and Thetford joined with the Chiltern League to form the Eastern Region.
Note: There has been 3 different teams called Stevenage and 2 Peterborough sides.
