On 23 June 1990, an Australian rules football match was played between Campbells Creek and Primrose. The match was in round 11 of the Maryborough Castlemaine District Football League (MCDFL) season, and saw the highest ever score in a senior Australian rules football match, with Campbells Creek winning by 616 points.
Although this is the highest senior score, a 1983 Victorian Football Association thirds match saw defeat Geelong West 110.27 (687) to 2.0 (12) − the highest score in any grade.[2]
Ruck-rover Reg 'Butch' Sartori kicked Campbells Creek's 100th goal (and his 18th of the day) with 20 seconds left in the match.[3]
Sartori led the goalkickers, with forward pocket Craig Ginnivan (father of future premiership player and player Jack Ginnivan) kicking 17, half-forward flanker Kelly Stevens kicking 14, while centre half-forward Alister McGibbon and half-forward flanker Craig Pietsch both had 13 goals each.[4]
All of Primrose's three goals game in the final quarter.[3]
Because of time-on due to the amount of goals, the match is believed to have gone for 3 hours and 5 minutes.[3]
Campbells Creek again heavily defeated Primrose three years later in 1993, kicking 76.43 (499), which itself is the third-highest Victorian senior score.[5]
Primrose folded the following year in 1994.[6]
