This is the earliest
reference we have for the league - apparently the first ever finals night! |

| Witney Gazette Thursday 20th September 1972:- | |||||||||||
| “The Bampton & District Aunt
Sally finals will be held tomorrow at the Elephant & Castle, Bampton, and games will start at 7.30 for the League Final between the Eagle, Bampton, and the Bull, Aston. After the games there will be a Bar-B-Q.” |

According to past Secretary Bob Watts : |
|||||||||||
| "In 1971 a competition was organised by the Lord Kitchener but at the end of that, some teams felt they had been badly treated but wanted to carry on playing Aunt Sally. A meeting was held at the Elephant & Castle, Bampton and the existing Association was formed. Ken Mullis was Chairman and I was Secretary. There was only one section and Ken and myself put up the cup. This was the "Mullis and Watts Cup." | |||||||||||
