Barrow & District League
The Barrow & District League is a series of rugby league divisions in and around Barrow-in-Furness.
The league is run by the British Amateur Rugby League Association (BARLA). Officially, teams from the Barrow & District League can apply for election to the National Conference League if they meet minimum criteria. However, in practice the strongest clubs instead enter the North West Counties league, although they are required to enter their reserve team in the Barrow & District League if they do so. Currently the Barrow & District League consists primarily of the reserve teams of such clubs, although Askam and Ulverston have entered their first teams in as of the 2008-09 season.

“I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
—Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
