Moama
Moama is one of half a dozen New South Wales-based members of the twelve club Murray Football League. The Magpies joined the competition in 1997, reaching a grand final in 2001 but losing to Deniliquin. Their next grand final appearance did not arrive until 2009 and once again it ended in defeat, this time at the hands of Tocumwal by a 1 goal margin. Finally, in 2010, the Magpies secured their breakthrough MuFL premiership thanks to a 19.15 (129) to 6.9 (45) grand final trouncing of Mulwala. Moama again reached the grand final in 2015 but lost to Nathalia. They subsequently finished third in 2016, fourth a year later and ninth in 2018.
Prior to commencing in the MuFL Moama was a prominent force in the Northern and Echuca Football League for seven seasons, from the time of that competition’s inception in 1990. In four out of those seven seasons the Magpies’ senior grade side reached the grand final, losing by 42 points to Leitchville in 1991, downing Cohuna by 16 points the following year, succumbing to Leitchville Gunbower by just 3 points in 1995, and overcoming Lockington Bamawm United after another thriller in 1996 by a 4 point margin.
Moama’s history has not been well documented, but a club bearing that name was certainly in existence prior to world war one, and possibly as early as the 1890s. For many years the club bore the distinctive nickname of the Mowers.
