HDFL (1949 – )edit
In 1949 Elmore returned to the Heathcote District FL. they had participated in 1938 and 1939 but dropped out because of the war. Elmore have won five premierships, all have come in long awaited years because they have been Runners-up more than they have been Premiers. They have been very unlucky in the past having been Runners-up eight times and been Premiers six times and before the 2007 Premiership they were in a flag drought of twenty two consecutive years, which is the third biggest flag drought in the HDFL after Colbinabbin's (22 years) 1950–1975 flag drought and White Hills (29 years) 1988–Present flag drought.
Rivalriesedit
Because of the small sized football league rivalries are few and far between and most teams aren't overly aggressive towards another team, however Elmore's main rivals are Colbinabbin, Huntly, Mount Pleasant & Heathcote
