Ellinbank District FL

The Ellinbank District Football League was formed in 1937.
==History==
The foundation clubs were Ellinbank, Hallora, Strezlecki and Wooreen. In 1938 Ripplebrook and Arawata joined along with the reserves of Warragul and Drouin. In 1940 as World War 2 started to bite Arawata and Wooreen left before the league went into recess for the war.
In 1946 Ellinbank, Hallora and Strezlecki returned as did Ripplebrook and the Drouin reserves. Two new clubs also joined in Darnum and Triholm. Nilma/Lillico joined in 1947 and Warragul Industrials joined in 1948. Buln Buln joined from the Neerim competition in 1949. In 1951 clubs numbers dropped with the departure of the Drouin reserves, Ripplebrook and Triholm. But in 1952 the demise of the Neerim competition brought in Neerim, Neerim Junction and Noojee.
In 1953 Hallora and Strezlecki merged while Darnum went into recess, returning in 1954. Also in 1954 Neerim Junction folded and players went to both Noojee and Neerim, causing both to change their names to Noojee Junction and Neerim/Neerim South respectively. Darnum's return was for one year only and they folded.
In 1962 Noojee Junction folded. In 1967 Poowong and Nyora joined the competition and in 1976 Catani joined. In 1978 Nilma/Lillico changed their name to Nilma/Darnum. Bunyip joined the competition in 1982 but in 1988 Hallora/Strezlecki folded - making Ellinbank the only founding club remaining. In 1993 Longwarry joined from the West Gippsland FL.
In 2000 Koo Wee Rup and Lang Lang joined and 2005 Nar Nar Goon and Cora Lynn joined. The admission of Garfield from the West Gippsland/Latrobe league in 2010 brought the competition to 15 clubs. But in an AFL Victoria driven reshuffle including the reformation of the West Gippsland competition in 2017, Cora Lynn, Bunyip, Nar Nar Goon, Koo Wee Rup and Garfield departed. In 2019 Warragul Industrials also left for the WGFL but Yarragon replaced them from the Mid Gippsland FL. Seasons 2020 and 2021 were abandoned, the latter delaying the competition debut of Trafalgar, who had also joined from Mid Gippsland, to 2022.
