Northern Mallee Football League
The Northern Mallee Football League (NMFL) was an Australian rules football and competition that finished in 1996 with only five clubs based in the Mallee region of Victoria, Australia. The league featured three grades in the Australian rules football competition, being First-Grade, Reserve-Grade and Under 16s.
History
The Northern Mallee Football League was formed in 1979 from the merging of the now defunct Tyrrell Football League with another local mallee league. The Northern Mallee Football League had been reduced to five clubs in the final season and eventually merged with the Southern Mallee Football League to form the Mallee Football League (Victoria).
