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[2] and played its first match at Seatoun Park.[3] The league expanded to five clubs in its first season.[4] 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.[5][6]
