  • TDFL History
    TDFL History The Tallangatta and District Football League was officially formed in 1945 comprising six teams-Bethanga, Fernvale, Granya, Mitta/Eskdale, Sandy Creek and Tallangatta and kicked off on the 21st April 1945. At the same time the Dederang and District league became the Yackandandah League with the inclusion of Tawonga, Kergunyah and Kiewa joining Yackandandah, Mudgegonga, Dederang. A new rule was enforced that year-all club guernsey numbers had to be no smaller than 8 inches. The 1945 season saw the Tallangatta Magpies defeat Fernvale in the Grand Final at Sandy Creek on the 21st July to become the Leagues first official Premiers. On August 31st 1946 at Sandy Creek, Granya defeated Mitta 12.8.80 to 8.7.55 in the Grand Final in their first of three flags. In 1947 Sandy Creek left the League and joined the Yackandandah League. The same year Bullioh Valley applied to join the Tallangatta and District Football League filling the void left by Sandy Creek. That same year Granya achieved the rare distinction of back- to-back premierships by defeating Tallangatta. A knock out competition was run at the end of the 1947 season with 14 teams competing at Tallangatta’s Ormidale Oval. Tallangatta, Mitta Valley, Sandy Creek, Bullioh United, Myrtleford, Granya/Fernvale, Walbundrie, Tawonga, Wodonga Ex-servicemen, Corryong, Wodonga, Mansfield, Albury and Newport. Albury defeated Myrtleford in the competition to become district champions. A visiting Essendon team played Mitta Valley just defeating Mitta in a practice match the same year. In 1948 Bethanga dropped out of the League reducing the competition to six teams.

  • Towong Shire Community Recovery Newsletter Edition 8 - November 2020
    Towong Shire Community Recovery Newsletter Edition 8 - November 2020 Getting back on your horse “We laughed, we cried, we hugged, and we rode our horses,” said Cudgewa’s Marja Jarvis. “I didn’t know all of the women, but at the end of the weekend we became a sisterhood.” On the weekend of October 24-25, Marja and five other women came together at Tullimbar Log Cabins near Bullioh for a two-day horsemanship clinic. It was the second of three clinics and for some, it was the first time they had been on their horses since before the bushfires. “Each one of us had gone through the bushfires … each of us then had to deal with COVID and all its restrictions … and each one of us had been touched by cancer, either personally or through a relative or friend,” Marja said. “We shared our stories by the open fire at night and we bonded as we realised how strong and resilient each of us is.
