From a first senior game to a milestone appearance for the club, FootyBanners.com helps Stony Creek Lions families turn the occasion into a keepsake. Every banner is custom made using the Lions name and the player's own details, ready to be run through before the siren.
Simple to Order
Choose from a Single Player, Two Player, Team or Grand Final banner and send through the details you'd like printed - name, surname, guernsey number and milestone, for example Matt Smith, #43, 150 Games. Each banner is printed with permanent inks onto heavy-duty, weatherproof paper, built to survive a bitter Gippsland winter afternoon at the Racecourse Reserve without smudging or tearing before it's needed.
Two Players, One Banner
Got two Lions celebrating the same game milestone together? A two-player banner lets you feature both names and guernsey numbers side by side on the one quality banner, perfect for teammates or siblings sharing their big day.
Team Banners for Group Celebrations
Celebrating a finals win or a strong group of Lions all at once? The Team Banner option fits 3 to 6 players on the one banner, with a top-line message you can customise, for example "Congratulations Stony Creek Lions" above the player details. A bold way to mark the occasion together.
Wall Keepsake Banners
For a lasting Lions keepsake, choose a Small, Medium or Large wall banner. Printed on thick, recyclable paper with waterproof inks, they're built to hang proudly in the clubrooms, the garage or a home games room for years to come.
Grand Final Banners
Heading into the big one? Our Grand Final banners come in 4.5m and 5.5m sizes with customised top and bottom text to suit the occasion. Get in touch with our team for design advice on the perfect banner for Stony Creek Football Netball Club's next grand final appearance.
About Stony Creek Football Netball Club
Origins and Founding
Stony Creek Football Netball Club was formed in 1894 in the small South Gippsland township of Stony Creek, Victoria, making it one of the older football clubs recorded in the district according to Wikipedia's history of the Alberton Football Netball League. Known today as the Lions, the club played in local competitions before joining the Alberton Football League in 1969 alongside Meeniyan-Dumbalk United, after the South Gippsland Football League disbanded that year.
Club History
The Lions won their first Alberton premiership in 1983, defeating Devon in the grand final, and claimed a second flag in 2009 with a win over Wonthaggi Power. Stony Creek also played off in grand finals in 1979, 1980, 1985 and 2010, and contested the last ever Alberton Football Netball League grand final in 2019, going down to Foster by 7 points at Tarwin Lower Recreation Reserve. Individual honours have followed too: Don McKnight won the league's Peter Moore Medal in 1971, Brad Hutchinson in 2004 and Darcy Atkins in 2019, while Lucas McMillan kicked a century of goals for the club in 2004. Forward Robert Eddy, who came through the Stony Creek and Gippsland Power pathway, went on to play 33 AFL games for St Kilda between 2007 and 2011. After 74 years of competition the Alberton league folded in 2020, and Stony Creek joined the Mid Gippsland Football Netball League in 2021 alongside five other former Alberton clubs.
Home Ground
The Lions play home games at the Stony Creek Racecourse and Recreation Reserve, a dual purpose venue shared with the Stony Creek Racing Club, which schedules around seven race meetings a year. In 2025 the club carried out a $90,000 netball court upgrade at the reserve, self-funding $65,000 of the project, as detailed in a post from contractor Linxcrete.
Community and Programs
Beyond senior football and netball, the club builds its playing base through junior pathways and ongoing coaching appointments, including a senior netball coaching appointment made ahead of the 2026 season. Annual membership and registration drives bring together players, volunteers and families from Stony Creek and the surrounding farming district, with the clubrooms also hosting social events such as the club's mid-season ball.
Stony Creek, Victoria
Stony Creek is a small town in the Shire of South Gippsland, sitting roughly between Meeniyan and Foster and recording a population of just 281 at the 2016 census. Best known locally for its racecourse and go-kart track, the town relies heavily on the football netball club as a focal point of community life, drawing players and support from across the surrounding district.
The Lions compete in the Mid Gippsland Football Netball League and call the Stony Creek Racecourse and Recreation Reserve home. Follow the club on Facebook or follow along on Instagram for news, fixtures and match day updates.

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.
