The Eaglehawk Football Netball Club is an Australian rules football and netball club based in the town of Eaglehawk, Victoria and Eaglehawk teams currently compete in the Bendigo Football Netball League (BFNL).

Club History

The Eaglehawk Football Club was formed in 1880 and recruited most of its players from the gold mines in and around Eaglehawk. ^[2]

Canterbury Park was crown land set aside by the Eaglehawk Borough Council ^[3] for the purpose of a sports ground and gardens ^[4] and in November 1872, the Eaglehawk Cricket Club requested to the council that the land at Canterbury Park be levelled "to suit it for cricket purposes". ^[5] Canterbury Park always been the home of the "Hawks" or the "Two Blues" ever since the club was established way back in 1880.

Bendigo FC won the 1886 ^[6] and 1887 ^[7] premierships and not Eaglehawk as previously recorded on this page. Sandhurst FC were undefeated premiers in 1889 ^[8] and not Eaglehawk FC as previously recorded on this page. Eaglehawk FC won the 1900 premiership and not South Bendigo as previously recorded on this page. ^[9]

Eaglehawk has competed in every Bendigo Football League season since the league began in 1880, with the exception of 1904 when the Eaglehawk FC players wished to join the new Eaglehawk District Football Association ^[10] and the committee supported this move. ^[11] The 1904 Eaglehawk DFA premiers were Job's Gully FC. ^[12] Interestingly, in September 1904, the Eaglehawk District FA: 6.11 - 47 defeated Footscray: 7.3 - 45. ^[13]

Eaglehawk re-joined the Bendigo Football Association in 1905. ^[14]

Between 1882 and 1908, Eaglehawk won a staggering 12 premierships and between 1892 and 1903, Eaglehawk either finished as Premiers or runners up for 12 consecutive years.

There were new football clubrooms built in 1961 at a cost of £2000 and were named the "W. R. Bill Crawford - Pavilion" after long serving club President as Crawford was the driving force behind the construction of the new state of the art building. ^[15]

Former player from the 1890's John Scaddan, ^[16] went onto become the youngest ever Premier of Western Australia in 1911, at 35 years of age.

From 1936 until 1978 Canterbury Park hosted greyhound racing in Bendigo. ^[17]

Former Eaglehawk player, Sam Irwin-Hill went onto have a career with the Dallas Cowboys and other NFL clubs as an American football punter.

Football Premierships

Senior Football ^[18]

Between 1880 and 1903, the team on top of the ladder at the end of the home and away series of matches were crowned Premiers, therefore no official Bendigo Football Association Grand Finals were played prior to 1904.

In 1915, the season was abandoned in late July, 1915 due to World War One. No official premiership was awarded, but Rochester were on top of the ladder, with Eaglehawk, second. ^[19]

As of 2024, the Eaglehawk seniors have won 26 premierships and have also been runners up on 26 occasions too.
