Competition
football in the north east of Tasmania began around the 1900's during
the tin mining boom. Many
small associations existed in the area from Scottsdale to Goulds Country.
There have been many changes in the northeast during the century and with it came changes to the football scene. After a break during the 2nd World War, football resumed in 1945. The governing body reformed and became the NORTH EASTERN FOOTBALL UNION, under the guidance of Harry Horsburg as Secretary and George De Haas as president. The clubs in the competition were Ringarooma, Legerwood, Branxholm, Derby, Winnaleah and Pioneer. In
1967 Bridport joined the N.E.F.U., in 1982 the Scottsdale Crows and
in
1985 Lilydale joined, making a six team competition again. 1993 the Fingal District Football Association disbanded and the St Helens club joined us and in 1997, the Fingal club.
The 2001 season saw Fingal go into recess and eventually re affiliate
with the NTFA. This 2011 season Lilydale have moved to the NTFA Div 2
leaving the NEFU with a six team competition encompassing the Dorset
and Break O'day Municipalities.
Registration
numbers for seniors and reserves total approximately 500. Our Under
16's competition provides football for 150 boys, and the introduction
of Under 13's and Under 10's has been a bonus for all clubs. There are
upwards of 160 young hopefuls at 9.30 am start each Saturday to show
their skills.
