In 2008, which is also the Sesquicentenary of Australian Football, it has been determined to recognise the 3 best country football teams that have played senior competition level football in Tasmania.
The ‘Best of Country’ special category will recognise the greatest country football teams from the North, North-west and Southern Tasmania. The teams chosen for induction are as follows:
§ Northern Tasmania – Longford Tigers – 1957 NTFA and State Premiership team.
§ North West Tasmania – Smithton Saints – 1983 NWFU Premiership team.
§ Southern Tasmania – New Norfolk Eagles – 1968 TFL and State Premiership team.
The ‘Best of Country’ teams join the 2007 Special Category induction of the iconic Queenstown Oval.
The official induction of the ‘Best of Country’ teams will take place on 4 July at the Hall of Fame gala function at Wrest Point Casino.
