Deniliquin Football Association

The Deniliquin Football Association (Deniliquin FA) was first established in 1900 to cater for Southern Riverina (New South Wales) Australian rules football clubs in and around Deniliquin.

In 1901, the Deniliquin footballers, under the name of the Commonwealth Football Club won the premiership and received premiership medals from Mr. John Moore Chanter, MHR.

In 1903, Imperials FC won the Deniliquin Football Association premiership and P Hickey won the goalkicking award.

It appears that the Deniliquin FA went into recess at the conclusion of the 1904 season, when it was superseded by the Deniliquin Half Holiday Football Association in 1905, with this competition active up until 1913, when the Deniliquin FA was re-established in early 1914.

In 1919, the Deniliquin FA was reformed after a three-year break due to World War I, with the following three club's participating – East End, Federals and Railways.

In 1923, Ron Turner, from the Mathoura Football Club won the Derbyshire Trophy for the Most Consistent Player in the Deniliquin FA.

In 1926, Australian Wallaby International Rugby Union player, Tom Lawton – Senior played Australian rules football in Deniliquin, with the East End Football Club.

Bill MacDonald played for the Colts Football Club before making his debut the Melbourne Football Club in 1929.
