      • The East Point Football Netball Club is an Australian rules football and netball club. The football squad competes in the Ballarat Football League. The club, originally named "East Point Kangaroos" was formed in 2001 when historical clubs East Ballarat and Golden Point merged.


      History


      The East Ballarat Football Club was formed in 1885 and, at the time of its merger with Golden Point Football Club in 2001, East Ballarat was the second oldest club in the Ballarat Football League after Ballarat Football Club. The East Ballarat Football Club won 6 senior premierships in its history as an independent football club. Golden Point Football Club joined the Ballarat Football League in 1905 and won 14 senior premierships as an independent football club. The East Point Kangaroos now occupy the historic Eastern Oval, located in Ballarat East, which is known for its well preserved Edwardian architecture. The team's jumper was designed by Matthew Sheedy as a combination of the East Ballarat and Golden Point playing guernseys as well as the new combined club's mascot, the kangaroo.
