OUR
STORY
The Bacchus Marsh Football and Netball Club (BMFNC) represents the beating heart of our township. Founded through a passion for competition and community, the club has evolved from humble local beginnings into a powerhouse regional sporting hub. Every premiership flag and every milestone game is a testament to the grit of the Cobras.
Throughout the years, BMFNC has fostered talent across generations, transitioning from a strictly football identity to a fully integrated sports club. Our history is etched in the Maddingley Park soil, where thousands of local families have gathered for decades to cheer on the red, yellow, and black in pursuit of glory.
Bacchus Marsh Football Netball Club was formed in 1975 after the merge of Maddingley Football Club and Bacchus Marsh Football Club. We compete in the Ballarat Football Netball League against ten other clubs from across the Ballarat region and also towards Melbourne.
In the clubs 38th year, we won a maiden senior premiership in 2016 with a win against Sunbury Lions at Eastern Oval (BMFNC 13.21.99 DEF SLFNC 5.14.44). The team was coached by Travis Hodgson and captained by Life Member and Current player Tyson Shea
At BMFNC we have been fortunate to be in a position to enter teams in all grades ranging from open age A to E sides, as well as our 19 & Under team. Our most recent premiership was won by our C Grade side in 2013. Whilst we have made it deep into finals across other grades over the years, we are looking to make our way back up the ladder and be a successful club both on and off the court.
Fostering a rich legacy of sporting history, we are dedicated to providing opportunities for athletes of all ages while strengthening the bonds of our town through passion and local pride. Our long-standing connection with the Bacchus Marsh community drives our commitment to nurturing the next generation through robust junior development pathways. We remain steadfast in our dedication to supporting both football and netball across all ages, ensuring a strong future for our club and its members.
