The Gascoyne Football Association is an Australian rules football competition based in Carnarvon and Exmouth in Western Australia . The association was formed in 1908.[1]
History
In 1908 a group of enthusiasts wanted to bring football to the town of Carnarvon. From a list of players two teams were created and a competition begun. The first two teams were called Carnarvon and Ramblers . In 1913 committee infighting caused the Ramblers to implode and were replaced by the Rovers . Several games were played but the season folded.
After The Great War interest again was sufficient for the competition to start again, this time the teams were Carnarvon and Gascoyne . This arrangement lasted from 1919 until the Great Depression cause difficulties and a restructure occurred in 1932. Two new teams were created, Federals and Rovers . This format lasted 3 years before another restructure resulted in the town split into East Carnarvon and West Carnarvon. In 1938 a third team was added, Gascoyne as there enough players in town. 1939 resulted that no organised sport was played, no cricket, no tennis and no football.
