History

The Tatiara Football League was formed when the Bordertown and Mundulla clubs met in May 1911 with a view of forming a football association. Pine Hill, Wolseley and Keith were invited to join with only Wolseley accepting the offer. [1]

The league continued until 1993 when the TFL merged with the Kowree Naracoorte Football League to create the Kowree-Naracoorte-Tatiara Football League. [2]
