  LAKE WENDOUREE FOOTBALL NETBALL CLUB

History

The Lake Wendouree Football Netball Club was formed in 1995 as a result of a merge between the Wendouree Football Club and YCW Junior Football Club.

Peter O’Connell (Coach) and Captain Terry Simpson had the task of building a competitive senior side. They led the club to a final series in our first year and two grand finals in 1996 and 1997. An incredible achievement. The Senior Football  best and fairest is named the Peter “Joffa” O’Connell medal.

In 2010 Mathew Battistello was our coach, and had secured some handy recruits including the return of two of our junior players back from North Ballarat Roosters VFL – Paul McMahon and Ben Taylor.  Mathew is a key figure in our club’s history as our first Senior Premiership Coach.

2010 will go down as our  most successful year with the club  bringing home Five Premiership flags for the day being our first BFL Senior Football Premiership and 4 netball flags, led by legendary Netball Coach Sally McLean.  Also in 2010 premiership player Paul McMahon won the Henderson medal (league best and fairest).

Our success as a club is proven by winning the Merv and Mary Howard Award for best club in the Ballarat Football League in seasons:   1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2008, 2010 & 2011. We were 3rd in 2024, and also won the under 19s Football Premiership and the D Grade netball flag.
​
We now have some of the best facilities in country football/Netball  in Victoria and provide a great environment for players and families.

This year (2025) we will be celebrating our 30th anniversary.
