The Trentham Football Netball Club is an Australian Rules and Netball sports club that have been affiliated with the Maryborough Castlemaine District Football Netball League since 1991 in Victoria, Australia.

History[edit]

The Trentham Football Club was formed in 1892 and played its first game against Garlicks on the Trentham ground on Saturday, 14 May 1892.[1]

In 1894, the club was known as the Trentham Rats.[2]

Trentham's home ground venue in 1899 was in Mrs. Murphy back paddock.[3]

In 1905, Trentham FC began to wear a red, blue and white striped football guernsey. Then in 1910 Trentham's new venue was besides the Trentham Railway Station and they also changed their guernsey to a maroon colour.

A number of local sporting bodies purchased eleven acres of land on Falls Road in 1926, which was known as the Trentham Football Oval and Sports Ground.[4]

In 1911, Trentham FC finished as minor premiers in the Woodend Football Association, but then lost grand final by one point to Daylesford.[5]

Former Footscray and Essendon player, Jack Borthwick took over as captain/coach in 1925,[6] but the club were beaten in the grand final by Collegians in the Castlemaine Football Association.
