About the Lower South West Football League

​

The Lower South West Football League commenced in 1959 following the amalgamation of the Nelson Football Association and the Warren Football Association. A number of previous clubs merged to form its current incarnation of 7 teams which includes Southerners (Northcliffe and Pemberton merger), Bridgetown (Rovers and Warriors merger), Tigers (Fire Brigade and Jardee merger), Imperials, Deanmill, Boyup Brook and the most recent addition of Kojonup from the Great Southern League.

​

Many of the clubs boast both a long and proud history with centenary celebrations having been achieved in recent years and in maintaining both senior and junior sides ranging from Auskick up to the senior levels of League, Reserves and Colts, the participation rates per head of population are the highest in Western Australia and amongst the top echelon in Australia. Both in a sporting and a community sense, the Clubs represent the glue that holds the community recreation aspirations of the towns in the region together.

​

With all clubs having experienced senior premiership success in this millennium, the close and spirited competition between the clubs engenders both a good natured and healthy rivalry that encompasses close on field competition and a great off field camaraderie between both players, members and supporters.

​

As part of the East Perth Football Club’s country zone, the LSWFL has been a prominent breeding ground for many league players to further their careers in both the WAFL and AFL competitions and there are currently numerous LSWFL players on the East Perth Colts list. With a new leadership team in place, the Directors of the LSWFL are looking to cement the successes of the past with the continued development of our league as one of the most prominent associations in Western Australian Country Football.
