History

Southern Mallee Football Association

The Southern Mallee Football Association (SMFA) was formed in the 1932 [1] and continued until 1996 when it merged with the Northern Mallee Football League to form the Mallee Football League (Victoria).

In the 1937 SMFA grand final, E McCarthy kicked 15 goals for Hopetoun Football Club to help them defeat Kenmare.

In April, 1938 the SMFA was renamed the SMF League at its annual general meeting. [2]

A Reserves / Second Eighteen football competition was introduced by the SMFL in 1948. [3]

The thirds competition may have been introduced in 1969 and ran as an under 16 boys competition.

Southern Mallee Football League - 1932 to 1937

From 1932 to 1937, [4] there was also a Southern Mallee Football League (SMFL). [5]

The SMFL also had a junior competition in 1936. [6]

Prior to the start of the 1937 SMFL season, there was a number of clubs considering moving to another league, which caused a delay to the start of the season. [7]

The SMFL folded prior to the start of the 1938 season, with a number of clubs wishing to move to other neighbouring leagues [8] and with Sea Lake going onto play in the Manangatang Waitchie Football League. [9]
