Premiership needle hasn't moved in any of the 4 grades in 36 years at one of my former clubs. It makes it easy to remember the last ones:

U14's 72
U17's 75
Reserves 86
A's 85
:(
Success is in trying

Many clubs have have a fairly long list. From memory the longest I recall or discussed previously was Border Districts in the KNTFL.

The club you're looking for here is Eyre United. A merged club consisting of Lipson, Ungarra and Bulter. Formed in 1963 and have never won an A grade flag as a merged entity. Probably never will either got smashed by 131 points last weekend and been at the foot of the Great Flinders ladder for a number of years.

According to this https://websites.mygameday.app/assoc_page.cgi?c=0-6233-0-0-0&sID=163741 the longest in the GSFL is Goolwa (even allowing for their merger with Port Elliot in 2001) Goolwa 1977, Port Elliot 1973.

I treated mergers as entirely new clubs, thus GPE first season is 2001

Correct, edited.


Also I have changed Great Southern to Myponga-Sellicks was not a merger rather a name change.
