THE Salisbury and District Football League is now accepting entries for the 2017-18 season, as it bids to avoid folding.

After 125 years, the Salisbury Journal-sponsored league plans to run a Saturday and Sunday division.

Despite a decline in the traditional grassroots game, league officials, with the support of Wiltshire FA, are determined to keep it going.

Anyone interested in registering a team should contact Richard Nelson or email infosalisburyanddistrictfl@btinternet.com.
