The Wunghnu Football Club, nicknamed the Magpies, was an Australian rules football club in the small Goulburn Valley town of Wunghnu, Victoria.
It was playing in the Picola & District Football League until it was forced in 2011 into recess by the VCFL because they were deemed to be uncompetitive. [1] The club was based in the small Victorian town of Wunghnu, which is approximately 200 km north of Melbourne. [2]
Wunghnu ('wun u") played from 1888 to 1930 in the Goulburn Valley Football Association, a forerunner to the Murray Football League.
From 1924 to 1928, the Wunghnu and Drumanure Football Clubs merged to form the Drumanure-Wunghnu side.
Wunghnu played in some of the minor competitions around Shepparton until it joined the Picola & District Football League in 1951.
Wunghnu celebrated its first premiership in the P&DFL in 1958; a hat-trick of premierships came a few years later, in 1964, 1965 and 1966. Their last Premiership was in 1973.
Players from the club recruited to play in the VFL/AFL include Geelong Football Club 1937 premiership player Joe Sellwood. [3]
