About
The Nirranda Blues compete in the Warrnambool & District Football League.
Nirranda’s involvement in the WDFL dates back to 1992. Prior to that the Blues participated in a number of competitions, including the Port Campbell Football Association, the South Western District Football Association and the Heytesbury Football League.
In 2016 the Blues surged to one of the most dramatic and memorable premiership triumphs in WDFL history. Fifth at the end of the home and away rounds with a 12-6 record, the Blues made light of their underdog status in successive weeks against Merrivale, Kolora Noorat and Dennington to set up a grand final showdown with Old Collegians. Against all the odds the Blues held their nerve and maintained their form in battling their way to a 7 point triumph, 6.9 (45) to 5.8 (38).
