Leongatha Football Club

The Leongatha Football Club, nicknamed the Parrots, is an Australian rules football and netball club based in the town of Leongatha, Victoria. The club teams currently compete in the Gippsland League.

Founded in 1894, the club has participated in various Gippsland football leagues, and won 26 senior football premierships.[citation needed]

In 1903 the club was reformed with George F. Michael as President.

In 1910, Leongatha Junior FC (11.12 - 78) won the premiership, defeating Outtrim Junior FC (4.3 - 27).

In 1911, Leongatha FC joined the Leongatha and District Football Association, along with the South Leongatha FC.

In 1913, Leongatha finish second on the ladder with seven wins and their second semi final against Korumburra had to be played twice, after the first game was drawn. Korumburra won the replay by one goal.

In 1915, the club colours were a blue guernsey, red sash with red and black stockings. In July, 1915, the club's committee instructed club delegate's to terminate the football season due to the fact that eight Leongatha footballers are already at the front and seven more have enlisted in the Army. Leongatha FC continued on and played out the season.

Leongatha Juniors (1.4 - 10) were defeated in the 1922 grand final against Ruby (3.4 - 22).
