As we know the NFL are the current number one ranked comp in the state.
30 years ago the DVFL played in the final of the Victoria Challenge Cup. The cup was played between the No. 1 ranked metro comp and the No.1 country comp. The DV had qualified by beating the Eastern FL the previous season...
I was told that Keon Park Stars are not too keen about sharing their facilities with a senior club. Like a previous post, they have an alignment with HW.

The 2019 annual report has been on the NFL website for a few weeks. If anyone has a copy of the 2016 annual report on their computer, can you message me and I will pass on my email address.
Congratulations to Heidelberg West reserves. Finally some silverware for the Hawks. 1955 was the last time they won an open age premiership. A great lesson in perseverance.
No divvy 1 team has ever scored 1 point but the record belongs to the Creekers.
0.0.0 Creek v Heidelberg in 1960
0.2.2 Plenty Rovers v Whittlesea in 1946
0.2.2 Epping v Reservoir in 1946
0.2.2 Mont v Resa Lakies in 1957
0.2.2 Heidelberg v Creek in 1995
BRING BACK THE FOOTY RECORD. Just want to know the names of the opposition players.
WPL season could not have started any worse. Two losses and big Kova carried off with another knee injury.
Bit of trivia for the North Heidelberg supporters. North started in the DVFL in 1958. Prior to that they were a junior club with teams in the PDJFA. Coming up to the 60th anniversary of their first win as a senior club.
Round 4 - May 3rd, 1958
North Heidelberg 10.18.78
South Morang 6.12.48...
Bit of Trivia for South Morang fans. Coming up to the 60th anniversary of SM first ever win in its history. The Lions joined the DVFL in 1956 and after 26 consecutive losses, they got their first win.
Round 9 - June 29, 1957
South Morang 10.22.82 defeated Mont 10.12.72
With Boro being the focus of attention this week, can somebody from the club shed some light on one of the great mysteries of GFC and local footy.
Over the years many great players have worn the lime green jumper. Players like Dobbo and Dekka and um um and um um others. But one name stands out...
Stude, I'm sure you have erased it from your memory but just a reminder of the last time Epping and North met in a final.
1997 first semi played at Epping.
North 36.9.225 to Epping 11.4.70
Hopefully scores will be a bit closer on Saturday.
Almost drove off the road on Saturday arvo. I was listening to the preview show on PVFM when the Media Manager came out with this:
"Thomastown and Lalor are playing for the Paul Broderick Cup, of course that's Paul Broderick the former Fitzroy and Richmond player"
MM needs to do his research...
It was 1974 - "game stopped due to fighting - both clubs fined $500"
After that, South Morang had their most successful years in divvy 1
1974 - finished 8th
1975 - 12th
1976 - 6th
1977 - 3rd, lost qualifying final to Eltham, lost 1st semi to Mont
1978 - 5th, lost elimination final to Boro
1979...
On this day 40 years ago, an incident took place in the DVFL that was unprecedented and had serious repercussions for the North Heidelberg FC.
On July 8th, 1972 down at Shelley St with the scores Greensborough 18.10. to North 5.9, the NHFC senior team decided that they had had enough and they...
You're a genius Underbelly. MR kicked the highest score in divvy 1. Although the scores I have are Macleod-Rosanna 40.14.254 to North Heid 5.5.35
Enjoy your day with Kickass.

Get your facts right. There are 3 kids from Keon Park who want clearances to Resa.
Like most clubs, KP only refuse clearances for one reason, they owe $$$$
My son plays footy at Keon Park Stars and speaking to their president, he says they have no intention of fielding a senior team and in fact its never been discussed.
