The Hills Football League (HFL) is an amateur Australian rules football league, situated in the Adelaide Hills region of South Australia, to the south east of the state capital Adelaide.
The League has over 3000 players belonging to 20 member Clubs.[1] The League's Clubs are divided into two playing Divisions
- Central Division (Formerly Division 1 - mostly the larger towns in the Hills region);
- Country Division (Formerly Division 2 - the remaining clubs in the region).
Both divisions have their own programs for the season and there is no promotion and relegation system. It is the second biggest leagues in South Australia after the South Australian Amateur Football League.
In 2009 the Uraidla Districts Football Club became the first team in HFL history to secure all senior premierships (A,B&C) in a single season.
History[2]
The Hills FL was formed in 1967 as a result of the merger of the original Hills Central FL and the Torrens Valley FL. For a number of years, the competition consisted of three divisions, firstly known as the Central Zone, the Northern Zone and the Southern Zone. This later changed to Zone 1, 2 and 3 with two years also providing a Zone 4. Eventually in 1979 the two divisions that exist today was established. The one year that was an exception was 1983 when competition was played in one division.
Heathfield-Aldgate hold the record for the most premierships won in succession from 1971 to 1977.
