Gascoyne Football Association

The Gascoyne Football Association is an Australian rules football competition based in Carnarvon and Exmouth in Western Australia. The association was formed in 1908.

History
In 1908 a group of enthusiasts wanted to bring football to the town of Carnarvon. From a list of players two teams were created and a competition begun. The first two teams were called Carnarvon and Ramblers. In 1913 committee infighting caused the Ramblers to implode and were replaced by the Rovers. Several games were played but the season folded. After The Great War interest again was sufficient for the competition to start again, this time the teams were Carnarvon and Gascoyne. This arrangement lasted from 1919 until the Great Depression cause difficulties and a restructure occurred in 1932. Two new teams were created, Federals and Rovers. This format lasted 3 years before another restructure resulted in the town split into East Carnarvon and West Carnarvon. In 1938 a third team was added, Gascoyne as there enough players in town. 1939 resulted that no organised sport was played, no cricket, no tennis and no football.
