Port Adelaide and District Football Association The Port Adelaide and District Football Association was an Australian rules football competition based in the western and north-western suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia until it folded at the end of the 1952 season. It was first formed in 1921 as the Port Adelaide and Suburban Football Association under the auspices of the Port Adelaide Y.M.C.A., initially as a church based competition. Following World War I , the association reformed, between 1921 and 1923 was known as the Port Adelaide and Suburban Church Football Association, and in 1924 was renamed the Port Adelaide and District Football Association.Controversy The competition made the news in 1915 when late during the Grand Final , an Ethelton player kicked his Port Catholic opponent after he was beaten to the ball. Multiple fights broke out on the field as a result. Ethelton, who held a small margin at the time , lost the lead, and as a result, the match. When the siren sounded, several hundred spectators stormed the ground fighting . A number of people were injured. Ethelton went on to win the Challenge Final for the Premiership the following week . The association came into potential legal trouble in 1923 when a group of footballers calling themselves the "Rosewater Catholics" nominated a team in the place of the existing club of that name. The existing Rosewater Catholic club that participated in the previous season were instructed to adopt a new name to avoid confusion. Father Gearon, the Parish Priest of Rosewater, was given special permission to state his case for his team and not the new team. It is not known which team eventually participated as Rosewater Catholic.
