Geelong FL

The Geelong Football League was formed in 1979 as an elite seperation from the Geelong District FL.
==History==
The founding clubs of the competition were Barwon, Bell Park, Eastern Suburbs, Geelong West Cricketers, Grovedale, Newtown, North Geelong, North Shore, St Albans, St Marys, St Peters and Thomson. In 1980 St Peters and Eastern Suburbs went back to the GDFL and in 1982 Thomson followed with St Peters returning. In 1983 a promotion and relegation arrangement began with North Geelong leaving and St Josephs joining. This was followed in 1984 by Thomson returning in the place of St Josephs only for the reverse to happen in 1985. In 1986 it would be Geelong West Cricketers being replaced by Geelong Amateurs and then the arrangement ended.
In 1989 Lara arrived in the place of Geelong Amateurs, while St Peters merged with Geelong West and moved to the former VFA team's ground. In 1990 Barwon changed it's name to South Barwon. The competition stablised after that. In 1992 Leopold joined from the Bellarine FL, and in 2001 Colac joined from the Hampden FL. In 2017 Geelong West/St Peters absorbed Geelong West Cricketers and restored the name Geelong West. The 2020 and 2021 seasons were abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic with a handful of games played in 2021.
