Sunbury Football Netball Club

The Sunbury Football Netball Club, nicknamed Lions, is an Australian rules football and netball club based in the Victorian town of Sunbury. The football team currently competes in the Ballarat Football League.

History
Sunbury Football Club was formed in 1879 when it was known as the Lions, with the Northcote Football Club playing Sunbury in 1880.

They were a founding club in 1912 and continued playing in the Riddell District Football League until 1996.

With the depth of football standard in the RDFL on the decline, together with considerable opposition from former second division clubs on the formation of one division, the club voted to make the move to the highly rated Ballarat Football League (BFL) with Melton, Darley and Melton South clubs for the commencement of the 1997 playing season.

The club has won five BFL premierships.
