North Central FL

The North Central Football League was formed in 1932 as a name change from the Donald District FL.
==History==
In the inaugural season the clubs were Donald, Jeffcott, Laen, St Arnaud, Swanwater and Watchem. In 1933 Swanwater left and were replaced by Corack while in 1934 Laen added Litchfield to the club name as Corack left to be replaced by Birchip. In 1935 Jeffcott left and were replaced with Woomelang while Watchem joined forces with Laen/Litchfield to be Watchem/Litchfield. In 1937 the competition found itself with just three clubs upon the departure of Birchip and Woomelang and struggling but in 1938 Woomelang returned and Curyo joined the competition. As World War 2 began Watchem and Laen/Litchfield split up while Charlton and Wooroonook joined and Woomelang and Curyo departed. The league then went into recess.
In 1945 in working it's way back the league reformed under it's old name of Donald District - with the 1940 clubs intact except for Watchem. Corack returned and Cope Cope joined. In 1946 with the name restored Watchem returned in a merger with Corack while in 1948 Wooroonook departed. In 1950 Laen/Litchfield and Cope Cope merged to form Laen/Cope Cope/Litchfield - or LCCL while Wedderburn joined and in 1951 Boort also joined. They were followed by Wycheproof in 1952. In 1953 Birchip returned and Narraport joined giving the competition ten clubs - the most in it's history. LCCL folded in 1954, but then the next forty years would be a period of stability save for the merger of Wycheproof and Narraport in 1964.
It would be 1997 when the next changes made, when Birchip and Watchem/Corack merged to form Birchip/Watchem while Leitchville/Gunbower joined from the folded Northern Echuca FL. They left in 2002 sending the NCFL back to seven clubs. The bye was eliminated in 2016 when Sea Lake/Nandaly joined from the folded Mallee FL. The 2020 and 2021 seasons were abandoned due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023 Nullawil joined from the Golden Rivers FL.
