The Barkly Australian Football League (BAFL) is an Australian rules football competition based in Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory of Australia. The competition began in 1991 after the Tennant Creek Football Club withdrew from the Central Australian Football League to form its own local competition. All games are played at Purkiss Reserve, Tennant Creek. Games could be played at Elliott oval from 2020 onwards due to the recent upgrade to the oval in 2019. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
