History

The AFA was formed in 1959 through the merger of the East Avon FA (EAFA) and Avon Valley FA (AVFA). [1]

In 1952, the AVFA applied to enter a team in the Perth-based Western Australian National Football League (WANFL). [2] The WANFL secretary Billy Orr suggested in 1954 that the AVFA should merge with the EAFA and the Goomalling and District Football Association (GDFA) to form a stronger league in line with the newly created South West Football League (SWFL). However, the GDFA rejected the suggestion on the grounds that it would weaken local clubs and would resulting in too-long travelling times. [3] The AVFA and EAFA met in 1954 to discuss the merger proposal and the possibly of fielding a team in the WANFL. [4]
