Merrigum Football Club is an Australian rules football club based in Merrigum in the Goulburn Valley region, Victoria, Australia. The club is known as The Bulldogs.[1]

History

[edit]

The first evidence of football in the Merrigum area was in 1902, when the football club applied to the Park Trustees to erect goals on the local oval.[2]

In 1905, Merrigum hosted Cooma in a game and won by one point.[3]

Merrigum lost their 1932 Goulburn Valley Central Junior Football League 1st semi final to Stanhope[4] prior to joining the Kyabram & District Football League in 1933.
