Berrigan Football Club
The Berrigan Football Club, nicknamed the Saints, is an Australian rules football club playing in the Picola & District Football League. The club is based in the small town of Berrigan located in the Riverina district of New South Wales.
The Berrigan Football Club was founded in 1894 and competed in the Southern Riverina Football Association. Berrigan won several premierships against teams such as Tocumwal and Jerilderie. In 1932 Berrigan joined the Murray Football League and played in several grand finals and won 5 of them against old time
Murray league teams such as Numurkah, Nathalia, Cobram and Tocumwal.It was between 1980 and 2002 that Berrigan struggled to win games in the Murray league and started to fall behind the other teams and looked like folding at one stage, but through the use of the strong community of the town, the club decided to join the Picola and District Football League. Again Berrigan struggled to win games until the 2009 season when the Picola League split into two divisions, which left Berrigan competing against teams such as Jerilderie, Blighty,
