Bolton Ladies Hockey League
In 1890, a group of eminent Bolton businessmen and mill owners formed the Bolton Working Lads Club with the aim of providing ‘healthy and natural exercise and amusement for working lads.’ The organisation changed its name a number of times. In November 1893 it became the Bolton Sunday School League; in April 1894, the Bolton Sunday School Social League, BSSSL and finally in 1974 the Bolton Sports Federation. Following the disbandment of the Bolton Sports Federation in 2023, the league was renamed as Bolton Ladies Hockey League. For more details refer to History document on the "About" tab above.
