Deniliquin Football Association

From Wikipedia - Reading time: 8 min

The Deniliquin Football Association (Deniliquin FA) was first established in 1900 to cater for Southern Riverina (New South Wales) Australian rules football clubs in and around Deniliquin.[1]

History

[edit]

In 1901, the Deniliquin footballers, under the name of the Commonwealth Football Club won the premiership and received premiership medals from Mr. John Moore Chanter,[2] MHR.[3][4]

In 1903, Imperials FC won the Deniliquin Football Association premiership and P Hickey won the goalkicking award.[5]

It appears that the Deniliquin FA went into recess at the conclusion of the 1904 season, when it was superseded by the Deniliquin Half Holiday Football Association in 1905,[6] with this competition active up until 1913,[7] when the Deniliquin FA was re-established in early 1914.[8]

In 1919, the Deniliquin FA was reformed after a three-year break due to World War I, with the following three club's participating – East End, Federals and Railways.[9]

In 1923, Ron Turner, from the Mathoura Football Club won the Derbyshire Trophy for the Most Consistent Player in the Deniliquin FA.[10]

In 1926, Australian Wallaby International Rugby Union player, Tom Lawton – Senior played Australian rules football in Deniliquin, with the East End Football Club.[11]

Bill MacDonald played for the Colts Football Club before making his debut the Melbourne Football Club in 1929.

In August 1930, at a meeting of the Deniliquin FA, it was decided that if larger attendees of the public were not forthcoming at local matches, the season would be abandoned, due to the effects of the Great Depression.[12] There are no scanned copies of The Deniliquin Independent newspaper on the Trove Newspapers website from July to December, 1930 to find out who won the 1930 Deniliquin FA premiership.

Moonacullah won the 1932 Deniliquin FA premiership and were a very talented team from the Moonacullah Aboriginal Mission Station, situated on the Edwards River, 41 kilometres, west of Deniliquin. Moonacullah's first recorded match was against a combined Deniliquin FA team in 1914.[13] For many years Moonacullah played many friendly one-off games against the Deniliquin FA and also against the Cummeragunga Aboriginal Mission football team, which was situated on the Murray River, at Barmah.[14]

A combined Deniliquin FA use to play the Echuca FA in an annual football match for many years.

In 1933, the Deniliquin Football Club was formed and entered the Echuca Football League,[15] which resulted in the demise of the Deniliquin FA, after 33 years.
