Camperdown Football Club

The club teams currently compete in the Hampden Football Netball League,[1] which Camperdown is founding member, having joined in 1930.

The Moran trophy consisted of four teams, in order of finish, Camperdown (undefeated), Cobden, Mortlake and Terang.

Now because of poor receipts, the delegates wanted a grand Final to cover the outstanding costs incurred that season.

News came through that Trooper Lawrence had been killed in South Africa and the town of Camperdown wanted to have a memorial service for a favourite son on the same day as the grand final.

When the Warrnambool DFA decided to merge with the Corangamite FA to form the Western District FL in 1924, this created an eight team competition.

Terang and Camperdown did not want to continue to travel to Hamilton because their players were farmers who could not spend all day away from the farm to play football, as they had cows to milk.

Camperdown won their first flag in 1938, during that season Cecil Bateman kicked a league record of 21 goals in a game against Cobden.

In 1965 Camperdown managed to lure Geelong premiership player Stewart Lord as captain coach, under his leadership the team improved to win the 1968 and 1970 Grand Finals.
