South East Football Netball League

The South East Football Netball League was an Australian rules football competition based in south-eastern Melbourne.
The league was established ahead of the 2015 season as a breakaway from the Casey–Cardinia division of the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League, but merged with the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football League at the end of 2018 to form the Outer East Football Netball League.
was the most successful club in the SEFNL's short history, winning three senior premierships and appearing in all four senior grand finals.

History

The competition had its origins in the South West Gippsland Football League from 1954 to 1994. In 1995 the league was rolled in the MPNFL and the administrative duties were taken by the MPNFL management. While under the MPNFL control there were three minor re-distributions of clubs and that created different divisions, most of the clubs were in the MPNFL Northern Division 1995–98; MPNFL Peninsula Division 1999–2004; and MPNFL Casey-Cardinia League 2005–2014.

Breakaway

A spokesman for the CCFNL clubs Kahl Heinze said: "There was excitement and elation to have reached this point in the process. Poor communication, a lack of financial transparency and management, lack of strategic direction and a lack of service to the CCFNL clubs were some of the grievances that led to the clubs pursuing the move for independence."
