History

Lockhart Paving Mural

The Lockhart Football Club (Australian Rules Football) was formed in April 1898, after a meeting at the Lockhart Hotel.[1] and they defeated Urana in their first official game in August 1898.[2]

In 1925, The Urangeline & DFA, had six teams in the competition[3] and both Lockhart FC and Milbrulong FC were expelled from the competition on the eve of the finals series, for refusing to play their final at Urangeline.[4] Urangeline FC were defeated by Osborne FC in the grand final played at Pleasant Hills and won Mrs Maloney's Cup.[5]

In 1931, Lockhart was refused entry into The Rock & DFA[6]

Lockhart played in four consecutive grand finals in The Rock & District Cricket Association between 1933 and 1936, winning two premierships.
