Springbank Football Netball Club exists to develop members as players and people, provide an enjoyable playing and social environment, and enjoy on field success.
History
Formed in 1925, the club was formerly known as the Wallace Rovers. The club played for a short time in the Dunnstown Football Association before going into recess in the mid-1930s.
Reforming and joining the Bungaree Football Association, Springbank soon had its first premiership in 1939 then again in 1940. The interruption caused by World War II slowed the development of football in the area. Reforming again after the war, Springbank continued in the Bungaree FA until the competition folded. Unlike the other clubs that moved to the Clunes FL, Springbank went into recess.
A group of enthusiasts reformed the club in 1963, entering the Clunes Football League. Success came immediately with the club winning 5 premierships in a row.
Springbank’s senior side has won 5 premierships since joining the Central Highlands Football League.
In 1996 the Football and Netball Clubs merged to become one incorporated body, as the club was re-named Springbank Football Netball Club.
