Geelong Amateur Football Club

The Geelong Amateur Football Club was formed in 1926 as a result of teachers and students from The Geelong College and The Geelong Grammar forming a football team to play in Victorian Amateur Football Association. Hence the green (College)and light blue (Grammar) colors and the Pegasus Logo of the club. They moved to their current home at Queens Park, Highton in 1957.

Throughout their history the club has participated in a number of leagues. They started in the VAFA participating as high as A Grade before in 1983 the club decided to base itself in Geelong and joined the Geelong and District Football League. In 1985 they won the GDFL premiership. The club then briefly went up to the Geelong Football League but was unable to sustain itself there and moved back to the GDFL in 1989 where it played until 1994 when it joined the Bellarine Football League and has remained since.
