History

In May 1913 representatives from Avenel, Euroa, Murchison, Nagambie and Seymour met at the Tabilk Hotel, Tabilk and formed the Waranga North East Football Association, with a draw being established with the first round of matches taking place on Wednesday, 21 May 1913.

Broadford hold the record with four, for the most consecutive premiership wins in a row, which they achieved twice between 1924 and 1927 and later on between 1971 and 1974.Amazingly, Broadford defeated Seymour in all eight grand finals.

Three clubs went through the season as undefeated premiers: Nagambie in 1919 and 1938, Seymour in 1923 and Euroa in 1963 and 1969.

In 1926, J P Minogue, from Seymour [2] (one of the founders of the association) [3] was presented with a Life Membership gold medal for his services rendered. [4]

In 1939 the WNEFA went into recess, with Euroa, Nagambie and Seymour joining the Goulburn Valley Football League and Yea joining the Alexandra Mansfield Football Association. [5] Broadford withdrew from the competition in 1939, due to the closure of the local paper mills.

Mick Minogue (Avenel) was secretary of the former North East Football Association and then the WNEFA from February 1908 [6] to 1939 and never missed a delegate's meeting during that time. [7]

The original colours of the WNEFA representative jumper were blue and gold.

In May 1950, the WNEFA changed its name to the Waranga North East Football League. [8]

In 1960, Bill Burns was presented with a WNEFL Life Membership. Burns was a former coach of Broadford and association delegate. [9]

In October, 1960, the WNEFL was granted major league status by the Victorian Country Football League. [10]

The Bonnie Doon senior team played in nine consecutive WNEFL Reserves grand finals between 1956 and 1964.

In 1966, Dick Tossol from Thornton received a Life Membership of the WNRFL. [11]

Seymour made a record ten consecutive grand finals between 1966 and 1975, winning premierships in 1966 and 1975, but were also runner up for an incredible eight consecutive years between 1967 and 1974.
