History
The Northern Riverina Football League (NRFL) was formed in May 1924 when the Ungarie-Girral Australian Rules Football Association amalgamated with the Lake Cargelligo Australian Rules Football Association to form the Northern Riverina Australian Rules Football Association (NRARFA). The new competition included teams from Ungarie, Girral, Lake Cargelligo, Blow Clear, Burgooney and Tullibigeal for the inaugural season, which was won by Girral.
It was over the next sixty years that the NRFL continued to grow, with the junior football competition forming in 1974 and the netball competition forming in 1981. It was over the next three decades that the grades continued to change in both the football and netball competitions, until the NRFNL board decided upon having seniors, under 17s, under 14s and under 12s for the football competition, while the netball competition would have A-Grade, B-Grade, C-Grade, under 16s, under 13s and under 10s.
Footballers from the northern Riverina to have played in the VFL/AFL include the Daniher brothers (Terry, Neale, Anthony and Chris) and Ben Fixter.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“In all history no class has been enfranchised without some selfish motive underlying. If to-day we could prove to Republicans or Democrats that every woman would vote for their party, we should be enfranchised.”
—Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)
“I assure you that in our next class we will concern ourselves solely with the history of Egypt, and not with the more lurid and non-curricular subject of living mummies.”
—Griffin Jay, and Reginald LeBorg. Prof. Norman (Frank Reicher)
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
