History
editThe Eastern Professional Floodlight League was founded in 1964 to provide additional midweek matches for semi-professional teams in the East and South East of England.
Initially running on a league basis, it quickly grew from the seven clubs of its inaugural season to ten clubs by 1966.[1]
Several seasons of the competition were not completed, including its final season.
