St Arnaud Football Club

About

The St. Arnaud Football Club was established on the 16/05/1877 at a meeting held at Cox’s Royal Hotel where 35 names were set down as members. The colours were blue with white and blue stockings and red and blue caps. The first game played by St. Arnaud was on the 1st of July 1877, against Charlton East on the Market Reserve. The rules were set down that there would be two hours of play (2 x 60 minute halves), and the winning side to be the one who kicked the greatest number of goals. The result was a draw with one goal each. The Football Club has provided a focus for people to come together in a common bond of social and sporting activity, which has provided its own folklore and legends. With continued support the cub has a long and prosperous future to look forward to and many more memories and achievements to write in history.
