Those three were longer than 20 years ago.
More like 25 years for Westfields (didn't Blakeview have something to do with them ending?). I can't even remember an Elizabeth North, so that must have been a bloody long time ago. And Blakeview was in 1994, IIRC, not long after Mile End (an infamous pairing).

In A4 in 1986 we had Immanuel OS, Gepps Cross, ANZ Bank, Burnside-Kensington, Wingfield Royals, Old Ignations, Alberton United, Post-Tel and Salisbury College.
Only 2 of those 10 clubs still standing outright with BHOS and Alberton United maintaining some existence in mergers to form the Brighton Bombers and Portland.
Other clubs not mentioned above that were floating around back then but no longer exist include National Bank, Greek and Teachers College.

Hell, I helped out Walkerville about 3 weeks ago. That was a super fast demise.
@Fricky, why didn't you tell us?
WHAT!!
I'll have to tell Wayne and the players that we don't exist anymore.

End of 2001 season
I remember that copped they some absolute hidings in D6 that year. I ran the boundary down there for a 50-goal drubbing.

everyone just sat around and watched it happen. if only at the time all their neighbour clubs each tried to donate 2 or so players from their surplus
or if only the league took them under their wing and did a mini recruiting drive via their portals

The Lions making the trek out to Houghton should be a good one. Put the shorts and thongs from last week away and bring a brolly maybe.

Now is the time of year you want to play at Houghton though. Playing there in R18 when the oval gets boggy and the blokes in the pocket hang sh*t on you for 2 hours is even less fun than it sounds.
