The Maryborough Football & Netball Club, nicknamed the Magpies, is an Australian rules football and netball club based in the town of Maryborough, Victoria.

The club teams currently compete in the Bendigo Football Netball League.

History

An Australian Rules football club was tried to be formed in Maryborough in 1869, but was unsuccessful, then in 1872, the club was formed and three matches were played against Avoca.

In 1891, the Maryborough Albion Junior FC played 15 games, for 14 wins, one draw to be premiers of the Maryborough district.[2]

Maryborough joined the Ballarat Football League in 1924 and were premiers on four occasions between 1924 to 1931 but missed both the 1929 and 1930 seasons as they were without a home ground. The council had decided to allocate Princes Park to the Maryborough District Football Association (MDFA).[3] [4]

In August, 1928, Marborough player, Charlie Backway kicked 18 goals against Ballarat Imperial FC.[5]

After returning and winning the 1931 premiership, Maryborough applied to join the Bendigo Football League in 1932 and were suspended by the Ballarat Football League as a result, who refused to clear the club to the Bendigo Football League.[6] [7]

To get around the disqualification, a new club was formed, called Maryborough United FC and they participated in the Bendigo Football League, from 1932 to 1940, due to Maryborough FC's disqualification.[8]

The original club reformed in 1945, spent a season in the Maryborough District Football Association (MDFA), before returning to the Ballarat Football League in 1946.[9]

At the end of 1991 the club were successful in transferring to the Bendigo Football League.
