In 1923, Macclesfield was a founding member of the Hills Central Football Association, playing in that competition until the end of the 1966 season. As a result of the restructure of Hills football in 1967, Macclesfield joined the Hills Football League Southern Zone, shifting to Division 4 in 1972, Division 3 in 1974 and then Division 2 in 1979. In 1984, Macclesfield joined the Southern Football League Division 2 competition, but only lasted 5 seasons, before shifting back to the Hills Football League Division 2 competition in 1989.[2]

Macclesfield continue to field Senior and Junior teams in the Hills Football League Division 2 competition.

gollark: You can end up with messy control/data flow between everything if it's all in one giant mess.
gollark: Yes, but that would probably lead to more problems than the OO thing would if done well.
