Traralgon Football & Netball Club

History of the
Traralgon Football Netball Club

Formed in 1883, the Traralgon Football Netball Club has been a pinnacle destination for local football and netball players in the Latrobe Valley and Gippsland region.

The first published match was at home against Warragul, with Traralgon taking the win.

The club went into recess in 1844, returning to competition in 1895.
