One in, all in
Tongala Football Netball Club
Known proudly as "The Blues," the Tongala Football Netball Club has a long and proud place in the town's sporting history. Competing in the Murray Football Netball League, the club fields senior and junior football and netball teams, providing opportunities for players of all ages to represent the blue and white.
With its "One in, all in" spirit, the club is about much more than what happens on the field and court. Generations of players, families, volunteers and supporters have helped make the Blues an important part of community life in Tongala.
Tongala has also played a part in the early football journeys of some remarkable players. Sir Doug Nicholls began his football career with Tongala, while future AFL star Harley Reid played junior football in the blue and white before going on to become the No. 1 selection in the 2023 AFL Draft.
Home games at Tongala Recreation Reserve continue to bring the community together and carry on a proud sporting tradition that stretches back generations.
