About
Formed in the 1920s, the Russells Creek Kangaroos compete in the Warrnambool & District Football League.
The WDFL was established in 1946, and Russells Creek won the inaugural premiership, downing South Warrnambool Juniors in the grand final by 4 points. A year later they repeated the achievement, this time at the expense of West End by 10 points.
Over the years the Kangaroos have enjoyed regular success, capturing a total of 11 senior grade premierships. In both 1957 and 1974 the club’s senior grade side went through the entire season undefeated.
