History

At a Delegate's meeting in April 1930 of the North Central District Football League, the following club's had withdrew from the competition - Birchip, Donald, St Arnaud and Watchem and it was decided to abandoned the NCDFL for 1930. [1] [2]

The North Central Football League was then formed around May 1930 from the following clubs - Birchip, Donald, St. Arnaud and Watchem. [3]

In 1937, the North Central FL decided on playing their competition on the Wednesday afternoon half holiday day, which meant that Birchip and Woomelang clubs were forced to apply for admission to the Ouyen Football League. [4] [5] [6] In 1937, Birchip ended up playing in the Wychproof Football league. [7]

The North Central FL ended up with a three team competition in 1937 consisting of - Donald, St Arnaud and Watchem. [8]

In 1938, Woomelang FC returned to the North Central FL after playing in the FL in 1937. [9]

In 1940, the North Central FL was comprised of the following clubs - Charlton, Donald, Laen-Carron, St Arnaud, Watchem and Wooroonook. [10]

Early Local Football History

In May 1908, the North Western Football Association was formed, comprising Charlton, Glenloth, Wooroonook and Wycheproof. [11]

In September 1913, the North Western Football Association defeated the Maryborough Football Association by 10 points at Princes Park, Maryborough. [12]

In April 1915, the Birchip, Donald, St. Arnaud and Watchem Football Club's formed the North Western District Football Association. [13] Then in early May 1915, Donald pulled out, due to their restricted radius imposed on them by the association. [14] [15] St. Arnaud then joined the Gower East Football Association. [16]

In 1929, the North Central District Football League was comprised of the following clubs - Birchip, Donald, St Arnaud, Watchem and Woomelang. [17]
