Ovens & Murray FL

The Ovens and Murray Football League formed in 1893.
==History==
In 1928 the member clubs were Albury, St Pats, Wangaratta, Rutherglen, Corowa, Benalla, Beechworth and Weir United. In 1929 Beechworth departed for the Ovens & King FL while Albury split into two clubs - West Albury and East Albury and St Pats left the competition. Yarrawonga joined as well. In 1931 Wangaratta and Benalla left but Wangaratta returned after two years in the O&KFL as Weir United changed their name to Border United and West and East Albury remerged. In 1936 Border United changed it's name to Wodonga and the competition remained stable through to World War 2 when the competition went into recess.
The league returned in 1946 with the same six clubs although Corowa had now taken on the name of Border United, and Benalla also returned to the competition. In 1947 a new club from North Albury joined and in 1948 Border United returned to the name of Corowa. In 1950 Wangaratta Rovers and Myrtleford joined from the O&KFL and the competition stayed with these ten clubs in a balanced and strong competition for many years.
The first change came in 1979 when Corowa and Rutherglen merged. The vacancy in the fixture was filled by Lavington. It would be in 1989 that the competition would expand to eleven clubs with the admission of Wodonga Raiders. However in 1998 Benalla left the competition for the Goulburn Valley FL. The general stability stayed otherwise. Both the 2020 and 2021 seasons were lost due to the COVID-19 pandemic while in 2022 there was a sensation when Wangaratta won the premiership only to have it stripped for salary cap breaches - a first for senior football anywhere in the country. In 2023 Corowa/Rutherglen went into recess bringing clubs numbers below ten for the first time since 1949.
