The Stanhope Football Club is based in the small Victorian town of Stanhope, near Kyabram. The Club are known as the 'Lions' wearing a maroon jumper with gold chevron. Stanhope has competed in the Kyabram & District Football League since 1995.
The Stanhope Football Club was formed on Wednesday evening, 10th March 1920, with Mr. E B Gibney elected as the President [1] and the club joined the newly formed Stanhope and District Junior Football Association in 1920. [2]
In March 1948, Girgarre and Stanhope decided to merge and entered their "senior" team in the Goulburn Valley Football League and their "reserves" team in the Kyabram District Football Association. [12] Only one week later, the Girgarre / Stanhope FC then decided to enter their "reserves" side into the newly formed Goulburn Valley Football League Reserves competition. [13] This merged entity was in force between 1948 and 1955. In 1956, the club de-merged and Stanhope remained in the Goulburn Valley Football League and Girgarre played in the Kyabram District Football Association.
