Formation

The association was formed in July 2007 as the "Bridgend Schools Football League" and became the first unified football league to run in Bridgend schools.

The first season consisted of six schools. Since then, the number of participants increased more than three-fold, with 20 schools currently participating in the association's various competitions.^[1]

Some schools only participate in the Cup competitions, of which there are two. The BSFA Challenge Cup and the BSFA Plate. The Challenge Cup Final is held on a weekend at a neutral ground and is held as a real FA Cup final - players have to respect the cup protocol and wear shirts and ties to the event which is watched by several dignitaries.
