Historic League

The Wellington League of Australian Football ran from 1904 until the end of 1909. The league was formed in May 1904 at a meeting in Wellington, with the secretary being J.T. Kelly and had two founding clubs: Lefroy and Federal and played its first match at Seatoun Park. The league expanded to five clubs in its first season. Despite substantial growth it finally folded due to ongoing access issues with the Football Association to its primary venue the Basin Reserve due to a lack of alternative venues.
