Brief History
Although football was played in the area in the 1870s, with the Goolwa club dating themselves from 1878, it was not until 1923 that the Great Southern Football Association was formed. The founding clubs were Encounter Bay, Goolwa, Hindmarsh Valley, Port Elliot and Victor Harbor.
Since that time a number of clubs have formed part of the Association, which itself changed its name to the Great Southern Football League. Current member clubs include Willunga, which is one of the oldest football clubs in South Australia, tracing its history back to 1874.
Mail Medal
The Mail Medal has been awarded since 1933. The Ozone Medal was awarded from 1925-32.
