Old Scholars Football Association


The Old Scholars Football Association is an Australian rules football competition in southern Tasmania, Australia.

The competition currently stages an eighteen-round roster season which is cut to a top four at the end of the roster series for a four match finals series played according to the McIntyre System, culminating in the Grand Final.

History

The former Tasmanian Amateur Football League known also as the Southern Amateurs split into two divisions at the start of the 1981 season, forming a District division and an Old Scholars division.

In 1987, the clubs in the TAFL broke away to form the Old Scholars Football Association.

With the admission of the Richmond Football Club in 2001 and Channel Football Club in 2009, the competition saw the loss of New Town Old Scholars in 1995 and The Friends' School Old Boys Football Club in the 2005 season.
