Nagambie Football Club is an Australian rules football club, that was established in 1881. The club is based in the North Eastern Victorian town of Nagambie.

History[edit]

The first recorded match involving Nagambie was in 1881, when The Age newspaper reported of an Australian Rules football match between Seymour and Nagambie.[1]

In 1882, the club played on the paddock of Mr. J. Swift - Esquire.[2]

At the club's 1888 annual meeting, it was decided to join the North Eastern Football Association.[3]

In 1890, the club was known as the Nagambie Ramblers.[4]

In 1891, Nagambie finished fifth on the North Eastern Football Association.[5]

In 1909, the club had the same colours as Longwood Football Club, so they changed its colors to blue with a gold band, with green stockings.[6]

In 1912, Nagambie joined the Goulburn Valley District Football Association.[7]

In 1915, two former Nagambie players, Private Fen McDonald and Private C. Coe were killed in action on the Gallopli Peninsula.[8]

Nagambie senior football team were undefeated in 1938, 1939 & experienced their first loss in three years on Saturday, 3 August 1940 from Benalla Football Club, who won by 14 points in Benalla.[9]

The club is known as "The Lakers" and wear red, white and black panels similar to the Saints guernsey. Their most recent premiership success was in the 2019 season against Tallygaroopna.
