## History

The Doveton Eagles Football Club was formed in 1980 as St John’s Old Collegians, and competed in the VAFA between 1980 and 1994. The club changed its name to Doveton Eagles in 1990. The seniors contested the F Section grand final against La Trobe University in 1988 and lost, but were promoted to E Section. The side displayed consistently good form in E Section [1] until they changed leagues in 1995.

They had immediate success by winning the 1995 4th division premiership.

Promoted to 2nd division in 1996 they were demoted back to 3rd division in 1999.

They won the senior and reserve premiership in 2013 and was promoted to 2nd division for 2014.

In 2016, the club was relegated back to division 3 before again winning the premiership in 2017 to get back into division 2.
