Most Successful Country team in S.A. is South Gawler with 37 Premierships
Established 1889


1. South Gawler 37 Premierships
2. Cummins Ramblers 36 Premierships
3. North Broken Hill 34 Premierships
4. Cleve 33 Premierships
5. Koonibba 32 Premierships
6. Waybacks 30 Premierships
7. West Augusta 29 Premierships
8. Walleroo 29 Premierships
9. Ports 29 Premierships
10. Solomontown 28 Premierships
11. Kyancutta 28 Premierships
12. Mundulla 28 Premierships
13. Willunga 27 Premierships
14. Loxton 26 Premierships
15. Cowell 26 Premierships
16. South Broken Hill 26 Premierships
17. Curramulka 25 Premierships
18. Willaston 25 Premierships
19. Central Whyalla 25 Premierships
20. Berri 24 Premierships

Cummins Ramblers premiership in 2008 gives them 37 as well.

Although South Gawler played against stronger opposition than Cummins Ramblers they predominantly played in a three team competition where Cummins Ramblers played in a five and six team competition.

Cummins Ramblers formed in 1919 giving South Gawler a thirty year head start who were formed in 1889.

South Gawler probably the best team but Cummins Ramblers the most successful.

Mallala FC also has 24 premierships

Sorry but Cummins Ramblers Only has 36, in 1946 they changed their name for 1 season to the Cockaleechie Football Club, they won the Flag & changed their name back to Cummins Ramblers Football Club so technically they only have 36!

Technically it was only a name change, Cockaleechie Football Club wore the same colours and had the same players and were the same team.

Technically South Gawler has only won 12 premierships while Gawler South has won 25, however they had the same players, same colours and were the same team.

1893 is still counted as a premiership but was shared with Gawler Central as no final was played.

Following the location of premierships results from the early 1900s, the Willunga tally has risen to 31 (22 Southern FL) and (9 Great Southern).

No results have been located for the Southern league from 1886 to 1900, potentially this could make Willunga the most successful country SA football team.

Loxton's tally has also risen to 30 (8 Loxton Line FA), (1 Loxton Brown's Well FA) and (21 Upper Murray).

I honestly take some of these figures with a grain of salt considering the amount of clubs that formed, disbanded and merged, and associations that did the same with only a handful of clubs, especially prior to the 1950's. Whilst this is always happening, it seems to have generally consolidated since this time.
Also, obviously Kyancutta can't add to their tally, but their merged entity, Central Eyre, have had their share of success over the past 20 years. So teams in more populous locations such as the Barossa and Southern get to add to their records.

You'd be pretty happy if you made your senior debut around the age of 17 and then retired at the tender "country" playing age of 32 for that side. Wonder if anyone one person played in all 15? Now that would be a stat and a half.

Poses another question, how many senior (or junior) premierships has 1 person won?

At the time there were two Cummins based teams playing in the Great Flinders FL - Cummins Ramblers and Cummins (Reds). Prior to WWII Cockaleechie played in the GSFL B grade comp and were essentially the Cummins Ramblers B grade team. After WWII the Cockaleechie name was adopted to reflect the area that Cummins Ramblers drew their players from and to distance themselves from the other Cummins team. This moved backfired on them however as prospective recruits moving to Cummins were under the impression that there was only one Cummins team - Cummins (Reds). Cummins Ramblers were quick to remedy the situation in 1947 and that was the last of Cockaleechie.

You are right Flying High, a case of the rich getting richer and poor getting poorer.

That is a mind boggling effort.

Reckon I've read, maybe in the Bush Legends book, that he played in a couple with one of his sons and maybe just one flag with another son.

Waybacks Football Club have 32 premierships. Established in 1903
