History
editThe first recorded match involving Thurgoona FC was in 1883 when they played Wodonga FC, at Wodonga in July, 1883.[3]
South Albury (established in 1945) who had been playing in the Tallangatta & District Football League since 1977 were struggling on and off the field tried to relocate and start afresh as Thurgoona but the move didn't eventuate forcing the club to fold in 1981.[4]
