Brief history

edit

1910s

edit

The Riddell District Football Association was formed in May, 1912 from the following clubs - Gisborne, Riddell and Sunbury clubs.[1] Riddell FC won the 1912 premiership and the Raftis Trophy.[2]

1920s

edit

In September, 1925, the Riddell DFA hosted the St. Kilda Reserves side in a match at Riddell, with St. Kilda: 15.13 - 103 defeating Riddell DFA: 5.3 - 33[3] Romsey played off in nine grand finals in ten years in the 1920's, winning seven premierships, while Lancefield also played off in nine grand finals in ten years in the 1920's and into the early 1930's, but won only three of their nine grand finals.

1970s

edit

This decade saw Hesket club go into recess and the introduction of new clubs Craigieburn, Melton and Melton South. In 1975 the league went two divisional, With eight teams in First Division and six clubs in Second Division. Numbers were boosted by the return of Trentham and Hesket clubs. 1977 saw Broadford and a second team from Sunbury join the league. Diggers Rest joined in 1978.

1980s

edit

1985 saw the league return to one division with twelve clubs. In 1987 the league went two divisional again as clubs were admitted from the Panton Hill Football League and North Fawkner from the disbanded YCW league the league had nineteen clubs.

1990s

edit

By the mid-1990s some clubs were struggling to compete and clubs went into recess.

The strongest clubs, Darley, Melton, Melton South & Sunbury left for the Ballarat Football League after 1996 season. This reduced the league to one division again. North Fawkner went into recess after 1998 after the club struggled for years to secure sufficient numbers to field 2 teams, which resulted in many large defeats many over 30 goals.

2000s

edit
  • Gisborne decided to play in the Bendigo Football League from 2000. This was due to the fact that Gisborne was by far the strongest club in the league and felt that it needed to play stronger opponents
  • Macedon went into recess for 2001 and 2002. Due to this it was thought that the league was becoming no longer viable.
  • Wallan FC left for the Diamond Valley Football League in 2002. After a restructure the Riddell District Football League stabilised.
  • 2008 saw Wallan FC return.
  • 2009 saw Broadford FC recommence in the League.
