About Pakenham Lions
Origins and Founding
The Pakenham Football Club, nicknamed the Lions, was founded at a meeting held at the Gembrook Hotel on 16 March 1892. The club's first match was played on 27 April 1892 against Warragul, with players travelling by horse-drawn carriage, on horseback, and steam train to away matches - a testament to the pioneering spirit of the club's founders. The Pakenham Football Club entered the Berwick District Association in the early 1900s, winning its first premiership in either 1908 or 1909. After World War One, the Association became the Berwick/Dandenong Football Association, and the club eventually joined the West Gippsland Football League where it would compete for decades.
Club History
The Pakenham Lions have accumulated an extraordinary premiership record across more than 130 years of football. Senior premierships include titles in 1927, 1929, 1935, 1947, 1948, 1951, 1952, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1962, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1982, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1998 and 2000 - reflecting decades of dominance in the West Gippsland Football League. In 2001 the club left the WGFL and joined the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League, winning its 29th senior premiership in its very first season (2002) in the Peninsula Division. The Lions now compete in the Casey Cardinia Football League division of the MPNFL. Among the club's most celebrated figures are the Jackson family - R.L. "Cracker" Jackson, regarded as one of the game's great coaches, and his brother Norm "Widow" Jackson, who played for the club from 1936 to 1958 at just 14 years of age on debut. VFL/AFL players from the club include Ray Jackson (30 games, North Melbourne), Don McIntyre (100 games, Carlton, including the 1938 premiership), and Norm Andrews (Fitzroy).
Home Ground
The Pakenham Lions play their home games in Pakenham, one of the fastest-growing regional towns in Victoria. The club's ground has been the focal point of the local football community for over a century. The club fields senior men's and reserve sides, along with an active junior program catering to Pakenham's rapidly growing population.
Community and Programs
The Pakenham Football Club runs senior men's, women's, and junior football programs, serving the broader community in the Cardinia Shire. The club celebrated its Past Players Day in July 2025 honouring past premiership sides, reflecting the strong ties between the club and its history. The Pakenham FNC maintains an active volunteer and committee structure that has sustained the club through more than 130 years of unbroken football history.
Pakenham
Pakenham is a fast-growing regional city in Victoria's Cardinia Shire, located approximately 60 kilometres south-east of the Melbourne CBD at the edge of Melbourne's urban growth boundary. The town is one of Australia's fastest-growing communities, with its population expanding from around 40,000 in the early 2010s to over 80,000 by the mid-2020s. Pakenham sits on the Princes Highway and is served by the Pakenham railway line connecting it to the Melbourne CBD. The area is characterised by a mix of longstanding farming families and newer residential estates, with the football club bridging those communities through sport.
The Lions compete in the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League and call Pakenham home. More information is available at pakenhamfc.com.au, and the club can be followed on Facebook and Instagram.

Creating the Break-Through Slits
-
Vertical Slits: Cut small slits (20–30 cm long) in the centre—this engineered weak spot ensures a clean break when players burst through.
-
Wind-Proof Technique: On windy or rainy days, make multiple smaller slits so the banner doesn’t tear prematurely.

💡 Tips & Tricks
-
Single Weak Spot: Some players cut only one slit to save and display the torn banner—repair later with clear tape on the reverse.
-
Logo Preservation: Position your slit to one side of the mascot or logo so your club’s emblem stays intact and can be retained afterwards for display.
