Donvale



Since 2015 the Magpies have competed in Division Four. After enduring the indignity of a wooden spoon in their debut season they improved considerably in 2016 to qualify for the finals and ultimately finish third. Then, in 2017 they claimed the premiership as a result of a 10.8 (68) to 8.8 (56) grand final defeat of Forest Hill.
