1920 War and epidemic recoveryThe recovery process was a prosperous one for the game as most clubs around the State had survived well under the circumstance. A ‘remarkable resilience’ is probably the most apt description to describe the rebound by the peoples of Tasmania to the incredible impost of War and an epidemic.
Cullens Football AssociationThis Association was formed approximately 1920 or so, and it’s equally as vague as to its departure from the game around the early 1970’s.
The CFA was regarded as a prominent supporter of community welfare and promoted itself as a strong contributor of well-being for men in the respective regions it represented.
Member clubs included: Bridgewater, Brighton, Claremont, Derwent, Glenorchy, Huonville, New Norfolk, Sorell.
During its existence it, like many other Associations faced ongoing challenging tasks, particularly in latter years, that ultimately forced it to close its doors. Factors such as amalgamations, falling player participation rate, population demographics, public interest and clubs leaving to other associations.
New Norfolk and Glenorchy were the dominant premiership wining teams. New Norfolk held the record with six premierships to its credit.
Visiting teams from South AustraliaTwo clubs from South Australia visited Tasmania, the first was West Torrens that played the TFL in a close encounter with the TFL winning by three points 10.13 (73) to 9.16 (70). The other match also went to the TFL beating West Adelaide 12.17 (89) to 10.9 (69).
Wilmot Football AssociationWilmot was settled in the 1890’s, proclaimed in 1903 and gazetted as a locality in 1965. The small rural township of Wilmot was named after Sir John Eardley-Wilmot, Lieutenant of Van Diemens Land from 1843 until 1846.
Wilmot is seated in the centre of some of the richest farming communities in the Mountain region of Devonport’s Municipality, South-West of the City.
The WFA was formed in 1920 and during the course of operating its competition, had taken on board both the Kentish and Roland Football Associations, when they merged with WFA in 1949. This practice was common-place during the latter part of the 1980’s through to mid-1900’s.
MFA member clubs: Barrington, Cement Rovers, Rovers, Sheffield, West Kentish and Wilmot,
The WFA merged with the North West Football Union in 2015.
