History

There was a Yackandandah Football Association established in 1912 amongst the following clubs - Dederang, Yackandandah and Tawonga - with Dederang taking out the premiership. [1]

in 1928, the Yackandandah & District Football Association was formed and Mr. Fred Malcomson, from the Star Hotel, Yackandandah, decided to donate a trophy to the premiers. [2]

In 1933, the Yackandandah & DFA disbanded and the Tallangatta & District Football Association was formed from the following clubs - Bethanga, Granya, Kiewa Valley, Mitta Valley and Tallangatta. [3]

The competition re-formed in 1940 for one year, before going into recess due to World War Two. It then re-formed in 1946 and was active up until April, 1954 when it went into recess. [4]

In 1947, the Y&DFA had nine local football clubs playing in its competition.

In 1952, Bogong FC changed it club colours to yellow and black. [5]

In 1953, Bogong FC won the minor premiership, with Beechworth Reserves finishing last out of six sides. [6]

All up the Yackandandah & DFA played fifteen season of football, with Bogong FC and Kiewa FC both winning three premierships.

Bogong FC played in five grand finals in their seven years in the Yackandandah & DFA.

In 1954, the competition went into recess. In February 1955, the Yackandandah & DFL officially disbanded. [7]
