From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

History

[edit]

The Albury & District Football League was established at a delegates meeting in Culcairn in 1930 from the following Australian Rules Football clubs - Albury Rovers, Culcairn, Henty and Holbrook. The first season saw 12 games played, plus semi finals and a grand final which was won by Henty.

Brocklesby had a famous grand final victory over Henty to win the 1939 Albury & District Football League premiership after Wally Crooks kicked a goal after the siren, from a free kick to win by two points, under captain / coach, Jim Steigenberger.[2] Henty then lodged an appeal to the Albury & DFL, which was defeated then appealed to the Murray District Football Council,[3] which was then upheld,[4] awarding the premiership to Henty. Brocklesby then appealed that decision to the Victorian Country Football League, which was up held, allowing Brocklesby to finally be declared the 1939 premiers.[5] Brocklesby's full forward, Shadrach "Shady" James kicked 82 goals in the home and away series[6] plus 16 goals in the finals, for a total of 98 goals in 17 games in 1939.

In August 1943, Mr. A D S Vivian, the league's foundation President from 1930 to 1935 passed away in Sydney. Vivian was the driving force behind the Albury Rovers FC and a former club President too. He was the Vice President of the NSW branch of the National Football League.[7]

In 1950 the Albury & District Football League introduced a Reserve Grade Competition,[8]

North Melbourne visited Bolton Park, Wagga in 1952 and defeated a combined Albury & DFL side,[9] with North's Jock Spencer kicking 18 goals.[10]

The 1952 A&DFL Reserves competition was divided into two division – North (Wagga) and South (Albury).[11]

Culcairn's Henry "Splinter" Liston licked 91 goals in the 1953 home and away series, plus 8 more in the finals, to finish on 99 goals![12]

In June 1954 the Albury & DFL played an inter-league match against the South Western DFL at Wagga, resulting in a win to Albury & DFL, 12.20 - 92 to 10.7 - 67.[13][14]

Culcairn's Henry "Splinter" Liston kicked 102 goals in 1954, which included the finals series.[15]

In 1955, Ron Clegg was captain-coach of the North Wagga Football Club in the Albury & DFL,[16] winning the £50 - Border Mail Newspaper / Albury & DFL Footballer of the Year Award, before returning to South Melbourne in 1956.[17]

In 1957 the Farrer Football League was first formed as a breakaway from the Albury & District Football League. Culcairn, Henty, Holbrook and Mangoplah-Cookardinia United competed in the first season. In 1958 all remaining clubs from the Albury & District Football League moved across to the Farrer Football League.
