That's good, last time I went to see them play (against Claremont in I think 2001, or 2000) they were passing around the tins trying to keep themselves alive. So it's good to see they aren't struggling financially.

Was Kealba Green Gully one team, or did you mean to mention them as two: Kealba, Green Gully?

I only have a reference for a Kealba FC.

Also do you happen to know, prior to the WRFL coming about in 2000, which clubs were in the FDFL and which were in the WSFL?

I've never been able to find out!

Donnybrook (1980)

Wow had no idea that Donnybrook used to have a team :eek:
I would say there is a very strong chance that a junior club maybe even a senior one could be formed there within the next 5 years especially because of it's close proximity to Cragieburn (about a 5min drive from the big new Highlands estate) and the growing areas to the north of it. It even has two ovals that junior clubs played on a few seasons ago.


A club that died and killed a league with it is Devenish Football Club. The old Benalla and District League only had 6 teams in it so once Devenish folded so did the league.

Another club i know of recently which may be in trouble is Thornton-Eildon. They were a very strong club only 5 years ago but are now in it's 2nd year of recess and i think thats the same with the junior club too :( very sad to see things like that happen.
 
They sure did! A relative of mine won there last ever bnf back in 1980 they wore geelong jumpers. Actually the club was founded before craigieburn but folded in 1980

Paramount Football club, in Merlynston, St Olivers FC..
 
Thanks to the closing of sawmills, Ringarooma folded this year in the NEFU.

On the brighter side Meander Valley Suns were formed ( a Leven FA club that services Hagley and Westbury.)

Latrobe Saints folded this year in the Leven FA as well. Could have a few more clubs in Tasmania fold next season if results are anything to go by and the state of the economy.

The Wunghnu Magpies (Collingwood colours but with an all black back & black & white hooped socks) folded in the Picola League in 2010 after suffering through years of floggings (thier seniors would regularly get beaten by 30 goals plus in most games), it's a sad sight the ground now, because thier cricket club also folded and no-one uses the ground or the rooms, it just lays idle and lonely:(, just like the Ground at Devenish (red & white stripes)after they folded.

Thornton/Eildon (North Melbourne Colours, but they did wear a Royal Blue with a White Yoke), also folded at the end of 2010 after winning the Yarra Valley Mountain District FL's 2nd Division in 2007.

Sadly, I think that there could be more added on that list if there's no improvement concerning Ardmona or Longwood:(
