History

Success (1948 – )

Elmore have won six premierships, all have come in long awaited years because they have been Runners-up more than they have been Premiers. They have been very unlucky in the past having been Runners-up eight times and been Premiers six times and before the 2007 Premiership they were in a flag drought of twenty two consecutive years, which is the third biggest flag drought in the HDFL after Colbinabbin's 1950–1975 flag drought and White Hills 1988–Present flag drought.

Rivalries

Because of the small sized football league rivalries are few and far between and most teams aren't overly aggressive towards another team, however Elmore's main rivals are Colbinabbin, Huntly, Mount Pleasant & Heathcote
