The Yarrawonga Football Club, nicknamed the Pigeons, is an Australian Rules Football club playing in the Ovens & Murray Football League.
The club is based in the town of Yarrawonga, Victoria located on the Murray River. Yarrawonga joined the Ovens & Murray Football League in 1930. Prior to this the club played in a line association that was based along the Benalla to Yarrawonga railway line. This association had frequent name changes dating back to 1889.
Yarrawonga forfeited the 1923 grand final because it clashed with a horse racing carnival.
Geelong's Tom Lonergan played for Yarrawonga before moving to Melbourne and being drafted into the Australian Football League.[1]
