Forest Hill Football Club

Forest Hill Football Club, affectionately known as the Zebras, is a sports club located in South Eastern Melbourne. The club is affiliated with the Eastern Football Netball League and fields teams from Auskick through to Senior Age group Men and Women in AFL and Netball.

Established in 1967, Forest Hill Football Club initially focused on developing young boys into footballers. It wasn't until 1970 that the club gained enough support to field a senior side in the Eastern Football League. In 1978, the club reached its first finals, and in 1984, they celebrated their first senior leadingship by defeating The Basin by 32 points. The club has consistently made finals appearances in recent years and has been runners-up in several grand finals.

Notably, Matt Carnelley set a new league record by kicking 24 goals against Nunawading.
