Sunday Football League
The Sunday Football League Western Australia (SFL WA), commonly known as the Sunday Football League (SFL), is a defunct semi-professional Australian rules football league that was based in the southern suburbs of Perth, Western Australia, Australia.
History
The league began in 1984 after a name change from the South Suburban Murray Football League and was headquartered in Perth's south eastern suburbs, for a period at Lathlain Park – the home ground of the Perth Football Club. It was notable as Perth's most popular Sunday competition, and each weekend up to 5,000 spectators attended the round of SFL matches.
