Competition Bendigo Football League

The Strathfieldsaye Football Netball Club is an Australian rules football club which competes in the Bendigo Football League.

The club was founded in 1978 as the Mandurang-Strathfieldsaye Junior football Club. This club was formed due to the need to facilitate the increasing population of junior footballers in the Mandurang and Strathfieldsaye district. The club commenced playing in the Bendigo Junior Football League and in 2003 became known as Strathfieldsaye JFC

By 2007 there was enough interest in a senior club forming, so an application to join the Bendigo Football League was submitted and accepted. There had been discussion on whether to join the lower Heathcote District Football League to get the club established but the members voted overwhelmingly for the Bendigo league. The club decided that Bendigo was where they wanted to play so they submitted a business plan to get to a higher standard as quick as possible.

In 2009 they completed in senior competition for the first time and in 2012 they played in their first finals series.
