Grantham Youth League
The Grantham Link Services Youth Football League, as it was rather long windedly known back then, was formed in 1990 under the auspices of the local Fire Brigade, Police, and Youth services. The hope was that it would give the youngsters who lived in certain areas of Grantham something of interest with which to become involved and hence curb the number of hoax calls being received at the police and fire stations.
Initially there were only some 5 or 6 teams. However, those that there were adopted real gung ho names. Names like Ropsley Rockets, Tennyson Terriers, Earlesfield Racers and the ominous sounding Ancaster Assassins.
From those small beginnings the Grantham Youth Football League, as it is now known, has grown. There are now over 70 teams affiliated to the alliance in age groups ranging from 6 to 16 and it takes care of much of the junior football requirements in the south of the county..
