Central Great Southern Football League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Central Great Southern Football League (CGSFL) was based in and around the Shire of Katanning. The CGSFL was formed in 1960 following a merger between the Katanning Football Association and Tambellup Football Association. The CGSFL ran from 1960 to 1990 before it merged with the Southern Districts Football League (SDFL) to form the Great Southern Football League (GSFL).

Teams from towns such as Nyabing, Kojonup, Tambellup, Gnowangerup, Dumbleyung, Kukerin and Katanning competed in the CGSFL.

The 1968 grand final between Kojonup and Wanderers was abandoned at half-time due to a severe hail storm, with Kojonup leading Wanderers 1.0 to 0.5. Kojonup captain-coach Graham Zilko was hospitalised due to hypothermia.
