History

Many years ago, there was a Deniliquin Rovers FC that played in the defunct Denilquin Half Day Holiday Football Association and won the 1907 premiership [1] and also won the 1928 Deniliquin Football Association premiership. [2]

The current Deniliquin Rovers FNC was established in 1977 to accommodate the large number of local junior football talent available at the time [3] and the club has played all their football in the Picola & District Football League.

The senior football team has been runner up five times - 1978, 1979, 1984, 1985 and 1995.

As of 2025, Deniliquin Rovers have 14 football / netball players who have played 300 plus club games. [4]
