Just plain Scilly

This must surely be the only football league in Britain without promotion or demotion. The Isles of Scilly, pop. 2000, are home to the country's smallest football league. The league has just two teams which play thirteen matches a year and also have two cup competitions. One has to ask why as both sides make the final of both competitions every year!

Of course, in the tradition of great amateur leagues everywhere, they do retire for a few pints and general camaraderie afterwards.
