The Junior Section of the Chester-le-Street & District Schools' Football Association was formed on 17 July 1950.  Mr F. Foster of Usworth Colliery Junior Mixed School was elected as its first Chairman.

The league was split into two divisions, shown left, and the winners of each division met home & away, in a 2-leg final, to determine the first League Trophy winners.  Sacriston overcame Usworth Juniors to win the inaugural competition.  During the 50s and 60s the Chester-le-Street Junior League was dominated by teams from Washington, Usworth in particular.
