North Eastern Football Union

Competition football began in North-Eastern Tasmania in the early 1900s during the region's tin mining boom.

There were many small associations existing in the area from Scottsdale to Goulds Country, with the many varying changes to the region during the twentieth century it had a resultant effect on the football scene.

The governing body reformed under the guidance of Harry Horsburg as Secretary and George De Haas as president.

The North Eastern Football Union clubs in that era were Branxholm, Derby, Legerwood, Pioneer, Ringarooma and Winnaleah.
