The St.Arnaud Football Club was established in 1877. Our first known game was on the 3rd of August 1877 against Charlton East in Market Square, which is now the car park; skate park and play ground behind the St.Arnaud Town Hall. We wore a blue jumper with blue and white hooped socks. A red and blue cap was optional. We were the eventual winner of that game. There was a return game at Charlton. The match end before it even started with the St.Arnaud captain disallowing Charlton to use a player from Melbourne.
In 1978, the club created history by taking out the premiership in all four football grades.
The Under 14's defeated Donald by 70 points.
The Under 16's went through the season undefeated before nearly having their winning streak end in the Grand Final. They ran out 9 point winners against Charlton.
The Reserves ran out winners, defeating Donald by 15 points.
To cap off a marvellous day for the club, the Seniors broke a 20 year premiership drought, to down Donald by 34 points.
