From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eastern Eyre Football League (EEFL) is an Australian rules football competition based in the Eyre Peninsula region of South Australia . It was formed in 1989 from the merger of the Kimba Districts Football League and the County Jervois Football League. The league's foundation clubs were Cleve, Cowell, Darke Peak-Waddikee (a merger of Darke Peak & Waddikee), Kimba Districts (a merger of Kimba, Buckleboo & Kelly), Ports (a merger of Arno Bay & Port Neill) and Rudall.
Central Eyre and Wudinna United amalgamated to form Central Eyre United and transferred from the Mid West League before the start of 2021.
It is an affiliated member of the South Australian National Football League .
