Football League to disband

From late 2009 to early 2010, Robertstown merged with North Eastern Football League club Eudunda, with the new club competing as the Southern Saints in the NEFL from 2010. This followed the move of Sedan Cambrai to the Hills Football League, leaving the league with only two clubs and deciding to disband. The Association issued a press release on its website announcing the league's disbandment.[1]

Blanchetown/Swan Reach were later accepted into the Riverland Independent Football League.

On 19 October 2017, the Mid-Murray Football Association Incorporated was officially deregistered as an incorporated association by the Corporate Affairs Commission.[2]
