Breakaway The Farrer Football League first formed in 1957 as a breakaway from the
Albury & District Football League. Culcairn, Henty, Holbrook and Mangoplah-Cookardinia United competed in the first season. In 1958 all remaining clubs from the Albury & District Football League moved across to the new league. The Farrer FL senior football best and fairest medal was called the Baz Medal, which was first donated in 1952 by Mr. Mick Baz of Culcairn as the award in the
Albury & District Football League, which was carried on into the Farrer FL. In 1976, the Farrer FL won the NSW State Championships series held at Finley in June, defeating the
Sydney Football League and the
South West District FL. The name of the best and fairest award from 1982 onwards has been the Gerald Clear Award.
Restructure It was in 1982 that the Farrer Football League amalgamated with the
South West Football League (New South Wales) and the
Central Riverina Football League in order to create the
Riverina Football League and the
Riverina District Football League, with the latter changing its name to the Farrer Football League in 1985. It was between 1983 and 1994 that the Riverina District/Farrer Football League maintained a two division system, with a promotion / relegation system in force during that time.
