The Ravensthorpe & Districts Football Association is an Australian rules football organisation based in the town of Ravensthorpe on the southern coast of Western Australia, formed in 1968.[1]
The R&DFA has had only two member clubs since 2016 - Southerners from Hopetoun, and the Ravensthorpe Tigers - after the Lakes club went into recess[2]
