History

The Central Hume Football Association was an Australian Rules Football competition that was first established in 1928 after a meeting comprising the following clubs: Bowna, Burrumbuttock, Gerogery, Jindera and Walbundrie.

In 1933, Gerogery, Jindera and Lavington broke away and joined the newly formed Hume Football League,[2] with Gerogery having immediate success, claiming four consecutive Hume Football League premierships from 1933 to 1936.

Bulgandra FC played in the Central Hume FA in 1933 and 1934, which was a small settlement near where gold was discovered at the Walbundrie Reefs in the 1850's.[3]

In 1935, Burrumbuttock, Walbundrie and Walla Walla joined the Hume Football League,[4] while Brocklesby joined the Albury & District Football League and Rand joined the Coreen & District Football League.

The Central Hume FA held a meeting in March, 1935, with three clubs - Bulgandra, Rand and Walbundrie keen to play, but it appears the competition did not reform at the scheduled May, 1935 meeting after a number of former club's joined the Hume Football League during the presiding two years.

All up there were eleven club's that played in the Central Hume FA during its short, seven year history.
