Stanhope / Girgarre FC

In March 1948, Girgarre and Stanhope decided to merge and entered their "senior" team in the Goulburn Valley Football League and their "reserves" team in the Kyabram District Football Association.[12] Only one week later, the Girgarre / Stanhope FC then decided to enter their "reserves" side into the newly formed Goulburn Valley Football League Reserves competition.[13] This merged entity was in force between 1948 and 1955. In 1956, the club de-merged and Stanhope remained in the Goulburn Valley Football League and Girgarre played in the Kyabram District Football Association.
