Southern Area League
The Southern Area League was the regional third and then regional second tier of speedway racing in the United Kingdom for Southern British teams as a replacement for the defunct Southern League. The league ran for 3 seasons from 1954 to 1956 as the regional third tier and then 1 season in 1957 as the regional second tier before league racing disappeared entirely below National League level in 1958. It returned for a final season in 1959.[1]
