Midland Templars AFL

I recently came across a "medallion" belonging to my wife's late Uncle, I just wondered whether anyone has any information on "Midland Templars AFL".
On the back it says Midland Templars League Div 3. Runners Up 1950-51. R Turner.

According to this cutting the league was formed in 1921. The last mention in online newspaper archives was in 1954 (though there may be later mentions not online)

Thanks for the prompt reply to my query, given the age group of the players mentioned in the article it looks as though the R. Turner whose name appears on the back of the medallion could have been my wifes late Uncle's younger Brother.
