History of the Watsonia Football Club

The club was established in 1967.

  • 1967 to 1968 Panton Hill Football League
  • 1969 to 1980 Diamond Valley Football League

Diamond Valley Football League split into two divisions for the 1981 season with the bottom four clubs at end of 1980 season and four other clubs affiliating from other competitions forming the lower tier.

  • 1981 to 2006 Diamond Valley Football League Second Division
  • 2007 to 2010 Northern Football League Second Division
  • 2011 to 2012 Northern Football League Third Division
  • 2016 – present Northern Football Netball League Second Division

Whilst always competitive, the club has not been consistently strong, the club won its only premiership the 1987 DVFL second division against Reservoir Lakeside. The club declined promotion to the first division due to uncertainty about player strength and financial stability. It is the only DVFL club to ever refuse a promotion.

  • 2022 - Moved from AK Lines Reserves to Binnak Park.
