Southern Yorke Peninsula Football League

The Southern Yorke Peninsula Football League was formed in 1908 with 5 founding clubs, and after World War 2 the league remained largely structurally unchanged until it was absorber in 1993. The following 7 clubs remained for much of the competition's duration:

In 1919 the Southern Yorke Peninsula Football Association and the Central Yorke Peninsula Football Association merged to form the Central And Southern Yorke Peninsula Association. This League went into recess during World War II and in 1945 the Southern Yorke Peninsula Football Association was reformed.
