Mount Barker Football Club

The Mount Barker Football Club is an Australian rules football club located in Mount Barker, Western Australia. Nicknamed the Bulls, the club plays in the Great Southern Football League, with home games originally being hosted at Frost Oval (aka Frost Park) in Mount Barker but changed to Sounness Park in 2015.

Club history
During the early 1990s both the North and South Mount Barker Football Clubs were not performing well. Two teams in a small town stretched the limited number of players. Members of the North Mount Barker Football Club (the Demons) approached the South Mount Barker Hawks with the proposal that both teams amalgamate to make a stronger team for the town. Talks broke down and in 1993 the Demons were wound up and the Mount Barker Football Club was formed. The Hawks stayed on as a team but their coach and a number of players joined the newly founded Bulls.

As of 2015, home games will be played at Sounness Park, Mount Barker.
