EAST POINTCurrent Affiliation: Ballarat Football League (BFL) since 2001 Home Ground: Eastern Oval Formed: 2001, when Golden Point amalgamated with East Ballarat Colours: Blue, white and red Emblem: Kangaroos Senior Premierships: Nil Henderson Medallists: Ben Jordan 2005; Dan Jordan 2006 (2 total) East Point boasts a noteworthy lineage, having been born in 2001 out of the marriage of two successful clubs of long standing in Golden Point and East Ballarat. Since struggling somewhat in their first few seasons the Kangaroos have developed into a competition pace setter, claiming minor premierships in both 2006 and 2007, although in neither case were they able to go on with things, ultimately finishing second and fourth. The 2008 season saw a continuation of the 'Roos' solid form as they comfortably qualified for the finals once more, ending up in third position. Both Golden Point and East Ballarat had enjoyed fine records in the Ballarat Football League prior to their merger. Golden Point had commenced in the competition during the first decade of the twentieth century, and claimed a total of fourteen senior grade premierships, a haul only bettered by Ballarat (eighteen) and Ballarat Imperial (sixteen). East Ballarat's involvement in the BFL was briefer than Golden Point's, but its record of five senior grade flags since world war two was a creditable one. Where now? or |
