SOUTH MELBOURNE DISTRICTS
Current Affiliation: Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) since 2000 Home Ground: Oval 11, Lindsay Hassett Oval, Aughtie Drive, Albert Park Formed: 1912 Colours: White and red Senior VAFA Premierships: D2 Section - 2007 (1 total); D3 Section - 2006 (1 total); G Section - 2000 (1 total) Senior VAFA Best and Fairest Awards: Nil South Melbourne Districts Football Club has enjoyed a long and illustrious history, highlighted by a total of eleven senior premierships in a variety of leagues, the most recent of which was won in 2007 in the VAFA's D2 Grade. For much of its history the club enjoyed a close association with the South Melbourne VFL team. This was particularly so during the difficult economic times of the late 1920s and 1930s, when quite a number of South Melbourne seconds and thirds players would supplement their incomes by playing for the Districts side. Small wonder that the 1930s proved to be far and away the most successful decade in South Melbourne Districts' history, with senior flags in 1930, 1933, 1937 and 1939. Even the likes of Bob Pratt and Laurie Nash were known to give the Districts team the benefit of their services on occasion. More recently, South Melbourne Districts has enjoyed success in the VAFA, winning a G Section premiership in 2000 (its first season) and a D3 Grade premiership in 2006, in addition to the D2 flag referred to above.
