Glenrowan Football Club


The Glenrowan Football Club was formed in 1905, when they played a match against Greta. The club spent most of its time in the Benalla & District Football League and the Ovens & King Football League, when it folded after the 2019 season, due to a lack of players, off field officials, active past players and volunteers.

History

Glenrowan's first documented match was against Winton in 1894, at Winton.
In 1910, Glenrowan wore red, blue and white vertical stripe football jumpers. Glenrowan won the first grand final against Greta South FC, but as Greta South has won the minor premiership, they had the right to challenge Glenrowan in another match for the premiership, in which Greta South won.
Glenrowan joined the Ovens & King Football League in 1992 and played there until 2019.
Three past players of Glenrowan have been awarded an Order of Australia award. They are Linton Briggs, Stuart Devlin and Bill O'Callaghan.
