SWANPOOLCurrent Affiliation: Benalla and District Football League (BDFL) since 1946 Colours: Royal and navy blue Emblem: Swans Senior Premierships: Tatong and Thoona Football Association (TTFA) - 1933 (1 total); BDFL - 1951, 1957, 1997-8 (4 total) Swanpool has been a mainstay of the Benalla and District Football League since the competition was established in 1946. Prior to that, the club competed in the Tatong and Thoona Football Association, the competition which gave way to the BDFL, between 1931 and 1940, contesting grand finals in 1931 and 1933, the latter of which was won. During its first couple of decades in the BDFL Swanpool was consistently on or near the pace, but its record in grand finals - 2 wins from 7 - was disappointing. Worse was to follow in the 1970s and 1980s as the club rarely challenged for the premiership. The Swans' finest combinations to date were fielded during the 1990s, a decade which brought the only back to back flags in their history. Recent performances have been less distinguished, with the nadir of a winless wooden spoon being reached in 2007. Where now? or |
