About

The Western Counties Floodlight Youth League is the official U18 midweek competition across the Western Counties.

We’re player-development focused, providing a high-standard, floodlit match environment where young footballers test themselves against strong opposition, midweek, throughout the season.

Supporting Clubs

Clubs benefit from:

• Structured divisions that ensure competitive balance.
• Clear, consistent administration that reduces the load on volunteers.
• A proven pathway into senior football, with many players stepping up into first-team squads across the region.

Growth and Reach

Today, the League brings together 36 clubs across four divisions, spanning Somerset, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and beyond. With its reputation for professionalism and quality, it has become the competition of choice for clubs investing in youth development.

Connected and Modern

We embrace modern technology and communications to keep players, clubs, and communities connected. Our X (Twitter) account and official website showcase match reports, player achievements, and club news — helping shine a light on the next generation of footballers.

The League continues to grow, staying true to its purpose: providing a professional, competitive platform for U18 football under the lights.
