Noble Park

Noble Park has been a major force in metropolitan Melbourne grassroots football for more than eighty years, and the club can trace its history back almost a century. It enjoyed regular top grade premiership success during the '30s, '40s and '50s in the Dandenong and District Football Association, and thereafter in both the South East Suburban Football League and the competition which supplanted it, the Southern Football League. Between 1994 and 1999 the Bulls contested every SFL Division One grand final, winning those of 1994 against East Brighton, and 1996 and 1997 at the expense of Parkdale. The 2000 season saw Noble Park transferring to the Eastern Football League. Placed in Division One, the club was quick to establish itself by claiming back to back premierships in 2003 and 2004. Since then, the Bulls have continued to perform consistently strongly, adding another pair of Division One flags in 2010 and 2011. The last three seasons have brought third, seventh and eighth place finishes in what is a twelve team competition.
