Wilmot Football association (WFA)

Wilmot 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.
