Western Border FL

The Western Border Football League was formed in 1964 as a merger of the South East Border and Western Districts leagues.
==History==
This unique cross-border competition had as it's foundation clubs North Gambier, South Gambier, East Gambier, West Gambier, Millicent and Penola from South Australia and Portland, Heywood, Hamilton, Imperials, Coleraine and Casterton from Victoria. No other competition in the history of the game could claim clubs in two states so far into their respective states (in all other cases, all the clubs on at least one side of the border are close to it and/or represent the vast minority of clubs).
The competition retained considerable stability for over 20 years. This ended in 1988 when Penola left to join the Kowree Naracoorte competition. In 1995, Coleraine left and joined the South West District FL but the competition stayed stable until 2012 when Heywood followed Coleraine to the SWDFL.
In 2013, at the behest of AFL Victoria, Portland, Hamilton and Imperials all left and joined the Hampden FL (with Hamilton absorbing their cross town rivals Imperials) leaving the competition with just six clubs with just one in Victoria; Casterton. They merged with Sandford in 2014. The 2020 season was lost to the COVID-19 pandemic.
