I Zingari League
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The I Zingari League was an amateur association football competition based in Liverpool, England which existed from at least 1897 [1] until 2006, when it merged with the Liverpool County Combination to form the new Liverpool County Premier League. The league was at one time a feeder to the North West Counties League. [2]
Notable local non-league clubs Marine and Formby competed in this league in the past. A representative fixture against the Lancashire Amateur League was played annually between 1919 and the league's discontinuation. [3]

[edit] I Zingari Combination
The I Zingari Combination was originally the league for the reserve teams of I Zingari League clubs. Despite the discontinuation of the League, the Combination continues to run, now featuring the reserve teams of clubs in the Liverpool County Premier League (as well as the first team of one club, Mexoc). The Combination has run since 1904. [4]
