Picola District FL

The Picola District Football League formed in 1934 as a name change from the Western Moira FL.
==History==
The foundation clubs of this competition were Barmah, Yalca, Picola, Moira, Kotupna and Nathalia seconds. In 1935 Waaia joined the competition while in 1936 Kotupna left and Strathmerton joined, only to depart in 1938. After the 1939 season the league went into recess for the duration of World War 2.
The league returned in 1946 with the same six clubs plus new arrival Numurkah reserves, who departed in 1948. In 1949 Barmah left and were replaced by Strathmerton seconds while in 1950 new clubs in Katamatite and Katunga joined. Strathmerton seconds werereplaced by Numurkah seconds. Wunghnu joined in 1951 and in 1952 Numurkah seconds left again and were replaced by Mundoona. But Numurkah seconds returned again in 1953 with Mundoona only lasting a season but being replaced by Tallygaroopna. The competition had now grown to ten clubs.
Katamatite left in 1955, but in 1956 Yarroweyah joined to keep the competition at ten clubs. But in 1957 Tallygaroopna left and in 1958 the Murray FL started a reserves competition causing the departure of Nathalia seconds and Numurkah seconds. The arrival of Barooga at the same time left the competition at eight clubs, but there was stability - until 1965 when Moira departed. Blighty arrived in 1969, but in 1970 Picola absorbed Yalca to become Picola United the have the competition at seven clubs. But a stable period led to the arrival of Deniliquin Rovers in 1977.
Another stable period at eight clubs lasted until 1989 when Barooga left for the Murray FL. In 1990 though Mathoura joined from the Echuca competition. Growth began in 1994 when Strathmerton returned, follwed in 1995 by the return of Katamatite and the admission of Tungamah. This was followed in 1996 by Katandra and the competition was suddenly twelve clubs. Deniliquin Rovers went into recess in 2003 but at the same time Berrigan joined from the Murray FL. Rovers returned in 2004 to make the club numbers thirteen. It leapt to fifteen in 2006 after the demise of the Central Goulburn FL with the admission of Shepparton East and Dookie. In 2008 the expansion continued with the admission of Jerilderie.
In 2009 the league divided into a north and south competition and admitted Rennie beinging the club numbers to seventeen. It dropped back to sixteen in 2011 when Wunghnu folded after struggling for some time getting the wooden spoon every year of the new millenium bar one. The numbers went back to seventeen in 2014 when Tocumwal joined the competition from the Murray FL.
In 2018 controversy struck when the league opted to leave AFL Victoria and go it alone. Four clubs left as a result - Tunagamah, Shepparton East, Dookie and Katandra - forcing the competition back to a single division. In 2019 the league returned to AFL Victoria but didn't regain any clubs straight away - and then the COVID-19 pandemic hit depriving the league of it's 2020 season and causing the abandonement of season 2021.
In 2021 Tungamah and Katandra had returned but in 2022 Yarroweyah forfeited most of it's matches. In 2023 the league left AFL Victoria for a second time and ejected Tocumwal who were forced back to the Murray FL.
