Kolora Noorat

Prior to the merger both Noorat and Kolora had been members of the Heytesbury Mount Noorat Football League since it was established in 1992, and prior to that had competed in the Mount Noorat Football League since that competition was founded in 1932. Both clubs had enjoyed a considerable amount of success, with Kolora having won thirteen senior grade premierships, and Noorat ten.

The Power commenced in the Warrnambool District Football League in 2003 and rapidly developed into a force. They reached their first grand final in 2008 when they got within 9 points of a powerful Timboon side. The following season saw them obtain revenge in quite emphatic fashion, downing their 2008 conquerors on grand final day by 50 points, 12.11 (83) to 5.3 (33). The winning habit continued over the next couple of seasons which spawned successive grand final triumphs at the expense of Dennington by 8 points in 2010, and Old Collegians by 15 points in 2011. A fifth straight grand final appearance followed in 2012 but opponents Panmure proved to have the Power's measure. 

In 2013 Kolora Noorat topped the ladder with a one hundred per cent record before succumbing to unexpected straight sets finals losses at the hands of Panmure and Dennington. The second semi final defeat by Panmure was particularly galling as the Power effectively kicked themselves out of contention in recording 6.23 (59) to the Bulldogs' 12.7 (79). After missing the finals in 2014 Kolora Noorat performed creditably to finish fifth in 2015 and fourth in 2016. Then, in 2017 they procured a long overdue premiership courtesy of a resounding 17.7 (109) to 8.7 (55) grand final defeat of Old Collegians. A year later they suffered a slight decline in fortune as their bid for back to back flags was derailed at the preliminary final stage by Old Collegians.
