The Wallingford team pick up sponsorship from Bolios sports shop in Wallingford. The team were affectionately known as "The Bolios" for the next several years. Waterbury were also affectionately known as simply "The Portuguese."
In the Fall, however, another Portuguese club joined the League. It was another Wallingford team who had heard about the League from their friends playing for The Bolios.
New team Milford Tuesday take their name from "The Tuesday Night Soccer Club" reminiscent for the same reasons Sheffield Wednesday in England obtained their name. Ex-patriots from around the world, but mostly engineers from the UK working at the aircraft factories in Stratford (Sikorsky and Avco-Lycoming), would meet in Milford on Tuesday nights to play an organised pick-up game. The TNSC has existed as such since the at least the early 1960s. Milford heard about the League from Garry Archer who regularly used to play at the TNSC in the early 1980s.
