History
Girgarre was established in 1920 and has competed in the Kyabram District Football Association (KDFA) since 1932. Girgarre is a small town in Goulburn Valley, Victoria.
In 1939, Girgarre pulled out of the KDFA on the eve of the season,[ 1] due to a shortage of players, but returned to the KDFA in 1940.[ 2]
Girgarre and Stanhope merged between 1948 and 1955 and enter one senior and reserves team in the Goulburn Valley Football League , Girgarre also returned to the Kyabram District Football Association in 1949 as a stand alone side.[ 3]
