Faithful & District Football Association
The Faithful & District Football Association was an Australian Rules Football competition, based in the Riverina region of New South Wales first established in 1920 at a meeting of club delegates from the following football clubs - Greenvale, Faithful and Sandigo, with a draw arranged too.[1] The League went into recess in April 1940 due to World War Two[2] but never reformed after the war.
History
The Faithful & DFA was located in the Riverina region of New South Wales, 36 kilometres from Narrandera in an area that had and still has a rich farming history, in cropping, cattle and sheep and wool production[3] and located 17 kilometres from Kywong, which is near the Sturt Highway.
Commencing with only three clubs in 1920, it grew to six clubs in the mid-1930s and produced some outstanding footballers from the ten club's that played in the competition during its 20 years in existence.
When the association was formed in 1920 and a fixture was arranged, but there appears to be no published results of any games or final series from 1920.
The Sandigo FC played in nine grand finals in their 11 years in the competition from 1920 to 1930, winning four premierships.
In 1929, Sandigo applied for admission to play in the Wagga-based Second Grade Football Association, but was refused on the grounds that Sandigo could not fill their team with entirely junior players, but would require senior players to make up the team each week[4]
Between 1929 and 1936, Greenvale FC played in eight consecutive grand finals and all up played in 15 grand finals for eight premierships during their 20 years of competing in the Faithful & DFL. In 1923, Greenvale were undefeated premiers.[5]
In 1921, Mr M J Quilter donated a trophy for the most unselfish player in the Faithful & DFA and was won by Harold Scilley from the Sandigo FC.[6]
Sandigo (55) defeated Greenvale (28) in the 1930 grand final. Greenvale protested on the grounds that Sandigo played some ineligible players and Greenvale was ultimately awarded the 1930 premiership.[7]
When Cullivel joined the Association in 1931, their club President was international rugby union player, Aub Hodgson.[8]
In July, 1935, the Faithful & DFL side, 12.14 - 86 defeated the Leeton & DFA side, 8.13 - 61, at Boree Creek.[9]
An inter-league match was played between Faithful & DFL and the South West Football League in Narrandera, in June, 1936, with the SWFL winning by 22 points.[10]
A league best and fairest medal was awarded to Leo Foley from the Greenvale FC in 1936,[11] who also kicked eight goals in their grand final victory.[12]
In July, 1939, the Faithful & DFL hosted a knockout football competition at Boree Creek, with Ganmain FC defeating the Faithful & DFL - A side in the grand final.[13]
At the Association's 1940 AGM the committee and club delegates decided to go into recess due to World War Two, but the association never reformed after the war, with most club's folding and some playing in other nearby association's.
