MOAMACurrent Affiliation: Murray Football League (MFL) since 1997Colours: Black and white Emblem: Magpies Known Senior Grade Premierships: Northern and Echuca Football League (NEFL) - 1992, 1996 (2 total); MFL - 2010 (1 total) Moama is one of half a dozen New South Wales-based members of the thirteen club Murray Football League. The Magpies joined the competition in 1997, and it took them until 2010 to claim a senior grade flag. They did so by means of a 19.15 (129) to 6.10 (46) grand final defeat of Mulwala, having lost the previous year's grand final clash with Tocumwal by a goal. The Magpies also reached the grand final in 2001 but were comfortably accounted for by Denilquin. Prior to commencing in the MFL Moama was a prominent force in the Northern and Echuca Football League for seven seasons, from the time of that competition's inception in 1990. In four out of those seven seasons the Magpies' senior grade side reached the grand final, losing by 42 points to Leitchville in 1991, downing Cohuna by 16 points the following year, succumbing to Leitchville-Gunbower by just 3 points in 1995, and overcoming Lockington-Bamawm United after another thriller in 1996 by a 4 point margin. Moama's history has not been well documented, but a club bearing that name was certainly in existence prior to world war one, and possibly as early as the 1890s. For many years the club bore the distinctive nickname of the Mowers. Where now? or |
