Lexton Plains Football League


The Lexton Plains Football League was an Australian rules football competition in western Victoria, Australia. The league ran an annual competition from 1999 to 2010.

History

The Western Plains Football League, which was formed in 1930 and the Lexton Football League, which was formed in 1945, both merged in 1999 to form the Lexton Plains Football / Netball League.
The league has a brief twelve yer history, then folded after the 2010 season, with the last grand final being postponed a week, due to the local flooding isolating clubs scheduled to play.
Navarre, Natte-Bealiba and Lexton joined the Maryborough Castlemaine District Football League, the Ararat Eagles joined the Mininera & District Football League and the four other clubs joined the Central Highlands Football League in an 18 team Competition for 2011.
