1920
Cullens Football Association
This 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: Claremont, Glenorchy, Brighton, Bridgewater, Derwent, Sorell, Huonville and New Norfolk.
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.
