History

edit

There was a Yackandandah Football Association established in 1912 amongst the following club's - Dederang, Yackandandah and Tawonga with Dederang taking out the premiership.[1]

Then in 1928, the Yackandandah & District Football Association was formed and Mr. Fred Malcomson, from the Star Hotel, Yackandandah decided to donate a trophy to the premiers.[2]

In 1933, the Yackandandah & DFA disbanded and the Tallangatta & District Football Association was formed from the following clubs - Bethanga, Granya, Kiewa Valley, Mitta Valley and Tallangatta.[3]

The competition reformed in 1940 for one year, before going into recess due to World War Two. It then reformed in 1946 and was active up until April, 1954 when it went into recess.[4]

In 1947, the Y&DFA had nine local football clubs playing in its competition.

In 1952, Bogong FC changed it club colours to yellow and black.[5]

In 1953, Bogong FC won the minor premiership, with Beechworth Reserves finishing last out of six sides.[6]

All up the Yackandandah & DFA played fifteen season of football, with Bogong FC and Kiewa FC, both winning three premierships.

Bogong FC played in five grand finals in their seven years in the Yackandandah & DFA.

In 1954, the competition went into recess, then in February 1955, the Yackandandah & DFL officially disbanded.[7]
