The original Benalla District Football League was formed in 1929^[2] from the following clubs - Baddaginnie, Benalla - "B", Swanpool, Tatong, Thoona and Winton.

The Benalla & District Football League (B&DFL) was formed immediately after World War Two in 1946^[3] and an Australian rules football competition based in the Benalla region of Victoria, Australia and ran until 2009.

History

The B&DFL was formed in 1946 and superseded the former Tatong & Thoona Football Association after World War Two.^[4]

In 1968, Benalla All Blacks kicked 45.31 - 301 against Devenish: 1.0 - 6, with All Black's Gavin Cherry kicking 19 goals.

In round thirteen of 1981, Glenrowan: 46.18 - 294 defeated Longwood: 1.1 - 7, with Glenrowan's R Fitzgerald kicking 18 goals.

The Victorian Country Football League shut the competition down at the end of the 2009 season when the VCFL policy of leagues having a minimum of six clubs could not be met.
