Echuca United Football Netball Club, nicknamed the Eagles, is an Australian rules football and netball club based in the northern Victorian city of Echuca. The club teams currently compete in the Murray FNL.
The club was formed in 1994 with the merger of the Echuca South and Echuca East Football Clubs and competed in the Northern and Echuca League until 1996. After the league disbanded the club joined the Murray Football League since that time.
Club history
The merger of Echuca East FC and Echuca South FC became the "Echuca United Football Club" in 1994. The club competed in the Northern and Echuca League as the Hawks, wearing brown and gold vertical-striped jumpers.
After the league disbanded in 1996, the club joined the Murray league. The club was forced to change their jumpers due to the Barooga Hawks (already in the Murray league) having the same jumpers. Echuca United then became the Eagles and used the same jumper designs as the West Coast Eagles. At the beginning of the 2002 season the eagles purchased new jumpers with a new eagle design adopted.[3]
Since 1997 the club has played in the Murray Football League, winning its only premiership in 2013.[4]
