CFNC is one of Australia’s oldest and proudest sporting clubs and has a rich history of success and notable past players. We compete in the prestigious Bendigo Football Netball League at senior level, the Bendigo Junior Football League at junior level and in the Victorian Country Masters Australian Football League.
