History

edit
Bacchus Marsh FC (1881 to 1978)

There was an attempt to form an Australian Rules Football club in Bacchus Marsh in May 1874, but this was delayed until "a greater interest was displayed".[1]

The Bacchus Marsh FC was originally formed April 1881.[2]

In May 1891, Mr. T. Cain was elected as the President.[3]

It appears the club wore red and blue horizontal stripe football jumpers from the early 1900s to the early 1920s.

In 1923, Bacchus Marsh colours were branded as the "Two Blues".[4]

The club initially joined in official competition football in 1911 and then played in the Ballarat Football League in 1929 and 1930.

The Bacchus Marsh "Tigers" initially wore a black guernsey with a yellow strip going diagonally from top left to bottom right from 1929, when they first joined the Ballarat Football League.[5]

In 1978 Maddingley left the Ballarat-Bacchus Marsh FL and joined the Ballarat Football League. Bacchus Marsh remained in the B-BMFL in 1978 and struggled because the club was practically insolvent. At the end of the 1978 season, a deal was done and the two clubs merged.

Maddingley-Bacchus Marsh FC (1979 to 1982)

The two clubs officially merged in 1979 to form Maddingley-Bacchus Marsh FC who decided to wear a black guernsey with two "v" shape strips, one red, one yellow starting at the top left and finishing on the top right.
