PROMOTION PLAYOFFS (1961-62)
At the same time the VFA introduced a play-off match which was held the week after the Second Division Grand Final. The match provided the runner-up in Second Division another opportunity to earn promotion by defeating the second-last (9th) team of First Division. Due to a lack of support from clubs the concept was scrapped after the 1962 match.
