QAFA (Northern Rivers)
The Queensland Amateur Football Association (B) South is an Australian rules football competition containing five clubs based in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales and the southern area of the Gold Coast in Queensland. The league was initially known as the Summerland Australian Football League and was established in 1984 as a New South Wales-only competition involving clubs from Ballina, Byron Bay, Goonellabah and Lismore. The competition saw several clubs from the regions of the Northern Rivers, New England and the Mid North Coast come and go between the 1990s and early 2000s. In 2010 the league allowed entry to its first Queensland-based team, Coolangatta-Tweed Heads.[1] In 2012 the remaining clubs joined the AFL Queensland umbrella and rebranded to the QAFA (B) South.[2]
