Southern FL (Tasmania)

The Southern Football League was formed in 1998 as a merger of the Southern Tasmanian FL and the Huon FL.
==History==
The foundation clubs were Brighton, Channel, Claremont, Cygnet, Hobart, Huonville, Kermandie, Kingston, Lauderdale, Lindisfarne and Sorell. In 2000 New Norfolk joined from the Tasmanian FL, and then in 2001 the remaining clubs from the TFL joined after it went into recess - Clarence, Glenorchy and North Hobart. This led in 2002 to the league being divided into two divisions, and the league also admitted Dodges Ferry. Sorell went into recess in 2003 but they returned in 2004 while Kingston changed their name to Kingborough. In 2006 two more clubs were added - Central Hawks and Triabunna.
In 2009 the TFL reformed and Clarence, Glenorchy and North Hobart rejoined. Hobart and Lauderdale also joined them. This caused the competition to drop back to one division. Channel also left for the Old Scholars FA and Kermandie folded. In 2011 Glenorchy fielded their reserves in the SFL, and Triabunna changed their name to East Coast. Glenorchy's 2's were dropped in 2012 and Central Hawks folded in 2013. In 2014 Hobart returned to the competition, while Kingborough went in the opposite direction. In 2016 East Coast left the league.
In 2019 Brighton only fielded reserves before their seniors returned to the field in 2020. In 2023 the same thing happened to Hobart, with their seniors returning in 2024.
