West Gippsland FL

The West Gippsland Football League formed originally in 1927 as a merger of the West Gippsland Junior FL and the Cora Lynn District FL.
==History==
The league returned in 1944 with eight clubs - Bunyip, Cora Lynn/Catani, Garfield, Koo Wee Rup, Lang Lang, Longwarry, Pakenham and Rythdale. In 1945 Drouin and Nar Nar Goon joined while Cora Lynn/Catani dropped Catani from it's name. In 1948 Catani would field it's own team while Nyora joined. Rythdale left in 1950 as did Nyora. In 1958 Koo Wee Rup departed and in 1959 Lang Lang left as well but they returned in 1960 to replace Drouin who headed off to the Latrobe Valley FL. A new club joined in 1961 - Yarragon. Koo Wee Rup returned in 1963 and Drouin came back in 1965. Lang Lang left again in 1967 and in 1969 Korumburra joined from the South Gippsland FL. In 1976 Tooradin joined the league, replacing the departing Catani. In 1977 Yarragon left.
In 1979 Rythdale returned as Rythdale/Officer/Cardinia (ROC). In 1983 Korumburra left. In 1993 Beaconsfield joined replacing Longwarry who went to the Ellinbank District FL. In 1996 Phillip Island and Kilcunda/Bass joined from the Bass Valley/Wonthaggi FL. In 2000 Koo Wee Rup and Lang Lang left for the EDFL while Warragul joined. After the 2001 season the league merged with the Gippsland Latrobe FL to create the West Gippsland/Latrobe FL.
However in 2017 the competition was reformed - with Bunyip, Cora Lynn, Garfield, Kilcunda/Bass, Koo Wee Rup, Nar Nar Goon and Phillip Island returning. They were joined by Dalyston, Inverloch/Kongwak and Korumburra/Bena. This number went up by two clubs in 2019 when Tooradin returned and Warragul Industrials joined. That led into two abandoned seasons due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
