Foster Football Netball Club

A stuttering start to this great club's story begins in May 1890; a meeting to form a Football Club was held at the pub in Foster, and the first game was scheduled against Fish Creek, and a team selected. This did not take place for undisclosed reasons, and the same fate befell the next attempt, against Yarram. By November the local paper was calling the idea “a dead failure”, but eventually in the following year a game against Toora was scheduled for May 14, then June 12, and finally took place on June l9th! Both these matches were won by Foster.

In the following year, 1892 several games were planned, but it seemed 'the state of the roads (remember horse and buggy days)and the climate were the main factors in stopping the matches taking place'.
