History
The Tumbarumba Australian Rules Football Club was established in June 1896 [1] and they played Corryong in their first match in August 1896. [2]
The club played against other local teams between 1896 and 1899, then at the 1900 Annual Meeting, the club decided to play Rugby instead of "Association" football. [3]
The Tumbarumba Football Club was then reformed in 1969 and commenced playing in the Upper Murray Football League in 1971 and it took until 14th August 1974 for Tumbarumba to record its first senior football win when it beat Corryong. [4]
The club is based in a Rugby League dominated town and has struggled for success on-field since its formation. Senior success has been scarce for the Kangaroos; however, they have won numerous reserve flags whilst their junior sides have been the most successful of any club in the past decade.
The club's senior football team has been runners up in 1980, and 1998 and 2008 before winning back-to-back premierships in 2012, 2013 [5] and 2022.
