One query I do have is what was the Hills FL setup like in the 1960s? From what I can work out there were three divsions and maybe even regional zones below that. Is that right? How many teams were under the HFL banner in the mid to late 60s?

there were many different setup's during the early 60's which involved 3 leagues, hills central, torrens valley and hills football.
in 1967 they were all almagamated under the one hills football league. how ever in the early 70's it was split into competitions under the one league eg: division 1 (central zone), division 2 (northern zone), division 3 (southern zone) and later a division 4

in 1967 this is approx. how the hills was divided

div 1 consisted of the following teams Central to the hills:
Mount Barker, Lobethal, Onkaparinga Valley, Heathfield/Aldgate, Stirling, Hahndorf, Bridgewater, Birdwood and Uraidla

div 2 consisted of Northern Towns:
Gumeracha, Ashton, Williamstown, Palmer, Lenswood, Sedan/Cambri, Woodside Army, and Pleasant Valley

div 3 consisted of Sounthern Towns:
Bremer, Echunga, Meadows, Kangarilla, Macclesfield, Nairne , Milang and Langhornes Creek

even though this link hasn't been updated since 2002 it does give you some reasonable information on the hills league in its earlier years

Many clubs have come and gone (folded or almagamated) through out the years, even left the association

m80's - noticed Kersbrook weren't in your list of the Northern division. Where were they playing at that time?

Would have been a great comp to be involved in, but, sadly, as you say many of those teams are not longer

Yeah, to RMFL, but thought it would have been for longer than that.

Think Kersbrook were in the now defunct Norwood/North Association in the 60s.

Think Kersbrook were in the now defunct Norwood/North Association in the 60s.

Along with Paracombe-Houghton.

Strange that Kersbrook played down there, but Williamstown further out played in the Hills

On the subject of decent footy books covering the game in the bush, I recently bought a copy of John Gascoyne's tome "Mail medal (1933-2006). For all those who love country footy, it's a good read with plenty of historical photos.
John lives at Ceduna and this looks like it's been a labour of love...
