The Katandra Football Club, nicknamed the Kats, is an Australian Rules Football club playing in the South East Division of the Picola & District Football League.[1]
The club is based in the small Victorian locality of Katandra. Katandra will be coached by Peter Ralph in 2013.
Despite the blemish of 2012, the club has experienced success over the past decade. Winning premierships in all grades of football and many grades of netball. The most recent Senior premiership was in 2004. The A Grade netball team won their first premiership in 2009 and were able to follow this by being Runners Up in 2011 and winning the 2012 pennant. The Senior team recently completed a remarkable feat of completing 8 seasons with no worse finish than being Preliminary Finalists. This 8 season streak included 2 Premierships, 3 Runners Up and 3 Preliminary Finals losses. Unfortunately, the proud club has not competed in finals since 2010 and received its first wooden spoon in 2012 after finishing last in the eight team PDFL-South East competition.
Past players to play AFL include Melbourne tough man Rod Grinter and Carlton best and fairest winner, David Teague.
