History

The club was established in 1893 and initially competed in the North East Football Association, a competition that was centred around Seymour

In 1902 the Alexandra & Yea Football Association was founded with clubs from Alexandra, Thornton, Yarck and Yea competing. Yea won the inaugural premiership. In 1904 the club accepted a return to the NEFA and stayed until 1909. In an attempt to revive interest in the district Yea helped to reform the Alexandra & Yea FA in 1911 after the competition had been inoperative for some time.

In 1924 Yea moved on to the Waranga North East FL.[2] This league functioned until the end of 1976, Yea won the last premiership.

In 1977 Yea played in the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football League until 1985.

In 1986 the club moved to the Kyabram & District Football League for twelve seasons.

In 1997 the Goulburn Valley Football League absorbed the clubs from the Tungamah Football League and had a second division for three years (1996–1998). These second division clubs then left to form the Central Goulburn Football League in 1998. At the end of 2005 Central Goulburn Football League ceased to exist and broke up and the teams went to other leagues.

Yea FC went to Kyabram & District Football League.

After two years Yea returned to the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football League.

gollark: <@151391317740486657> Ah yes, so I have to additionally deal with an extra thing to carry around and cannot listen to music on my phone whilst I charge it.
gollark: Also, making it symmetrical is not a good enough reason to make it incompatible with 90% of the headphones around and make the available ones for it cost more.
gollark: <@151391317740486657> They're very cheap though, and you might be able to add custom ROMs.
gollark: You didn't have time? Isn't this quite a long challenge thing?
gollark: Also the fact that most stuff, even if it uses DC internally (most things probably do), runs off mains AC and has some sort of built-in/shipped-with-it power supply, and there aren't really common standards for high-powered lower-voltage DC connectors around. Except USB-C, I guess? That goes to 100W.
