Great Southern FL (SA)

The Great Southern Football League was formed in 1923.
==History==
In 1928 the participating clubs were Encounter Bay, Goolwa, Port Elliot and Victor Harbour. Strathalbyn joined in 1930 but only stayed for the one season. In 1935 Yankalilla joined the league and in 1939 Goolwa went into recess with a new team Murray Ramblers joining. That team only lasted a season and in 1940 they were replaced by Mount Compass. The league then went into recess for World War 2.
After the war in 1946 Goolwa returned and Mount Compass didn't. In 1947 a new team joined - Valleys. In 1952 Mount Compass returned and in 1954 Encounter Bay and Valleys merged to form Rovers. In 1956 Yankalilla departed and the following year Rovers reverted to Encounter Bay. In 1963 Strathalbyn arrived and in 1967 Myponga joined. Yankalilla returned in 1968 giving the competition eight clubs.
In 1978 Langhorne Creek joined the league and they were followed in 1979 by Milang bringing the competition to ten clubs. Milang left in 1986 and were replaced by Willunga. This led to a period of stability although Port Elliot got an unwanted reputation of being easy beats with some of the scores against them. That ended in 2001 when Port Elliot merged with Goolwa, and McLaren joined the competition to keep the numbers at ten. The league has been stable since.
