The North Central Football League was then formed around May 1930 from the following clubs - Birchip, Donald, St. Arnaud and Watchem.^[3]

In 1937, the North Central FL decided on playing their competition on the Wednesday afternoon half holiday day, which meant that Birchip and Woomelang clubs were forced to apply for admission to the Ouyen Football League.^[4]^[5]^[6] In 1937, Birchip ended up playing in the Wychproof Football league.^[7]

The North Central FL ended up with a three team competition in 1937 consisting of - Donald, St Arnaud and Watchem.^[8]

In September 1913, the North Western Football Association defeated the Maryborough Football Association by 10 points at Princes Park, Maryborough.^[12]

In April 1915, the Birchip, Donald, St. Arnaud and Watchem Football Club's formed the North Western District Football Association.^[13] Then in early May 1915, Donald pulled out, due to their restricted radius imposed on them by the association.^[14]^[15] St. Arnaud then joined the Gower East Football Association.^[16]

Senior Football Best and Fairest / Feeney Medal Winners

[edit]

When football resumed in the North Central FL afterWorld War Two, Mr. J.J. Feeney, himself a former renown local footballer, made available a best and fairest award each year from 1947 onwards.

Feeney began his local football career in 1897, at the age of 17 and he played until he was in his mid forties. Feeney played for a number of local clubs including - Goorac, Sutherland, Saltwater, Donald, Traynors Island, Watchem, Coonooer Bridge, St. Arnaud and Cope Cope. Some of these clubs played football on a Wednesday afternoon and / or a Saturday, so at times he played twice a week.

After his retirement from playing, Feeney spent 33 years on the North Central FL Independent Tribunal.^[95]
