Ararat Eagles

The Eagles commenced life in 2000 as members of the Horsham and District Football League before crossing to the Lexton Plains Football League the following year. When the LPFL went into mothballs after the 2010 season the Eagles transferred to the Mininera and District Football League. The club’s seniors have so far failed to annex a premiership, and indeed their performances overall have been undistinguished. The other grades have performed somewhat better, with the highlight being a grand final triumph by the under fourteens in 2008. The previous season had seen the under seventeens contest the grand final, but they lost to Navarre.

In recent seasons the Eagles have struggled somewhat. They finished 11th in both 2013 and 2014, 12th and last in both 2015 and 2016, 10th in 2017, 11th in 2018 and bottom without a win in 2019. The reserves have found life similarly tough.
