The Partially Sighted Football League (PSFL) was formed over 30 years ago and has since built links with both British Blind Sport (BBS) and the FA to become the only league that caters for partially sighted adults.

The PSFL holds eight central venue fixture dates per season between the months of September and April, these consist or six league and two cups and are usually held at Futsal venues across the country. The league caters for both male and female individuals over the age of 16 and has one division comprising six teams.

The winners of league and the league cup will qualify to play at St. George’s Park as part of The FA Disability Cup Finals day.

The national competition structure is supported by six regional league competitions and a play-off process which sees teams promoted and relegated within the pyramid.

In 2011, the WFA Cup was launched. This is a competition that is open to all affiliated powerchair football clubs within England and operates on a home or away basis.
 
The first two rounds operate on a north and south divide, with Premiership teams receiving a bye into round two with the final taking place at St. George’s Park as part of the FA Disability Cup Finals weekend. 

St. George’s Park hosted the inaugural FA Disability Cup finals day on 7 May 2016 where the culmination of each partner’s cup competition took place with three cup finals being hosted back-to-back. 

The partner competitions were the Wheelchair FA National League, CP Sport National Cerebral Palsy National League and The National Blind Football League.

First up was the powerchair final, where Herefordshire-based Aspire beat Northumberland’s Northern Thunder through a single second-half goal from England captain Jonathan Bolding in an incredibly tight affair.

The cerebral palsy final saw the national league’s northern conference champions, CP United from Manchester, steamroll their way to the title with an impressive 9-0 victory over southern conference champions Chelsea.

The final game of the day – the blind final – saw Brandon Coleman open the scoring for RNC Shrews only for late drama to follow. Sporting Club Albion came from behind thanks to a Roy Turnham screamer with only seconds to go to force penalties, which Sporting Club Albion went on to win 2-1. 

The FA Disability Cup Finals day returned to St. George's Park for a second successive year on 6 May 2017.

Five finals – powerchair, cerebral palsy, blind, deaf and amputee – were showcased at the national football centre with hundreds watching on.

First up was the Powerchair category, in which reigning champions Aspire PFC defended their title with a 2-1 win over Birmingham side Villa Rockets PFC, who featured 13-year-old Bradley Addison.

The Cerebral Palsy final swiftly followed with CP United Seniors running out 9-1 victors over Chelsea Whites to claim their second successive title.

Following this, arguably one of the most intense games of the day was the Blind Football Final. Merseyside Blind FC were narrowly beaten 2-3 by RNC Shrews in which hat-trick hero and England player Robin Williams helped lead his team to victory.

The penultimate match of the day profiled some of the younger participants with U16 Derby County Community Trust Girls Deaf side beating Braidwood School’s U16 Girls Deaf Team 6-4.

Peterborough United Amputee FC, the reigning National Amputee League champions, beat Everton Amputee FC 3-2 to conclude a fine day’s action.

The FA Disability Cup returned to St George’s Park in a newly expanded format, with six cup finals and an exhibition of frame football take place over the weekend of 16-17 June.

First up was the Powerchair cup final where Aspire PFC were looking to retain their title for a record third successive season.

But it was West Bromwich Albion who were victorious, securing the title in their first appearance at St George’s Park thanks to a single goal from Luke Kelly.

Next up were Chelsea Blues, who were looking to go one better than the previous two years where they had finished runners up. In a close encounter it was North East & Yorkshire Disability FC who ran out 2-0 winners thanks to goals from Charlie Needler and James Williams.

The final game of day one saw the debut of Partially Sighted football within The FA Disability Cup. North West Scorpions faced off against Birmingham Futsal and looked the brighter side in the first half, cheered on by a vociferous section of the crowd but ultimately it was the experienced Birmingham Futsal that won the day with a 4-1 victory. Goals came from Harry Gibbons (2), Luke Darnel and John MacDougal with Scorpions consolation coming from Bailey Pack.

Day two commenced with a repeat of the 2017 Amputee cup final which saw Peterborough United Amputee FC retaining their title with closely fought 3-2 victory again Everton Amputee FC thanks to goals from Harry Ash, Ben Houghton and Gary Marheineke. Everton’s goals came courtesy of Gordon Metcalfe and Stuart Sephton.

Next up was the deaf girls cup final which saw a comprehensive victory for reigning champions Derby County Community Trust against Braidwood Trust School for the Deaf.

West Bromwich Albion and RNC Leicestershire Foxes brought things to a close with a very tightly fought game which saw the teams separated by a single own goal which ensured RNC Leicestershire Foxes retained their Blind cup final title for another year.    

St. George’s Park played host to ten teams across five disciplines in a thrilling weekend of football.

Five hard-fought finals, which included Amputee, Blind, Cerebral Palsy, Partially Sighted and Powerchair football, were contested by some of the nation’s most successful grassroots teams who competed to be crowned national champions in their respective discipline.

The players competing across the weekend were cheered on by a jubilant crowd of friends and family who joined media outlets such as Sky Sports News and ITV in celebrating the importance of disability football and the impact it has on those that play.

In the Partially Sighted Final, North West Scorpions were quickly out of the traps and clocked up a five-goal lead by half time against Birmingham Futsal. They added another four after the break, but Birmingham also found their shooting boots and pulled four back themselves, with braces for John McDougal and Luke Darnel. For the Scorpions, Jack Pearce, Bailey Pack, Neil Atkinson (3) and Niall Dempsey (4) were the scorers. 

Another North West team were winners in the Cerebral Palsy Final, as CP North West FC ran out convincing 8-1 victors against North East Yorkshire Disability FC. Goals from Riley DeSouza (3), Ethan Stone and four for George Fletcher were enough, while Josh Percival netted a consolation goal for his side.

In the Powerchair Final, Aspire FC were inspired by Jon Bolding’s hat-trick and a further strike from Rosie Hodgson against Northern Thunder, who responded through Jack Maxwell.

On Sunday, Everton Amputees FC lifted the Cup following a 4-1 win over Portsmouth, thanks to goals from captain Steven Johnson, George Blackshaw and a double from David Tweed. Pompey’s response came from Terence Yates.

Sunday was also the Blind Cup Final, where Merseyside scored twice in the second half through Azeem Amir and Roy Turnham to beat West Bromwich Albion.
