Winchelsea

Winchelsea has yet to open its premiership account in the Geelong and District Football League but the club boasts a long and illustrious history which has seen it claim a total of nineteen senior grade premierships in various competitions down the years. In recent seasons the Blues have experienced mixed fortunes, from the nadir of a winless wooden spoon in 2012, to the heights of finals participation in 2013 (finished fourth) and 2014 (fifth). The last four seasons have seen the Blues finishing ninth (2015), eleventh (2016), eighth (2017) and sixth (2018) in what is a twelve team competition.
