Kilmore Football Club, nicknamed the Blues, is an Australian rules football club affiliated with the Northern Football League. The club is located 60 km north of Melbourne in the town of Kilmore.

History

Football coverage in Kilmore was first published in The Leader newspaper back in 1873 with the town boasting three football teams - North Kilmore FC, South Kilmore FC and the Heath's Club. In July, 1874, Kilmore hosted the Hawthorn Football Club in a match and also in May, 1875, resulting in a win to Kilmore. At the 1876 Annual General Meeting, Mr. R. M. Heath was elected as club president and Mr. A Hudson as captain. Kilmore signaled their intention to move from the Riddell District Football League to the Northern Football League (Australia) after the 2015 season, citing a lack of players committed to playing in the RDFL as many of their players are based in the NFL's catchment area. The RDFL rejected the transfer and AFL Victoria have been called in to resolve the situation. Kilmore have said that they will go into recess if the appeal is unsuccessful. Both leagues later agreed to the transfer. Known for his sporting prowess, Nick Ferris, once wore the number 30 for the Kilmore Second 18. The number 30 has since been retired in honour of his contributions to the sporting culture of Kilmore and surrounds. The best & fairest medal - the Ferris medal - is named in his honour.
