Put Rochester first

Rochester Football Netball Club and Echuca Football Netball Club agreeing on something?
We know. It feels strange to us too.
We're rivals. Always have been.
We've spent generations arguing over whose town is better.
But today, we're calling a truce.
Both Rochester and Echuca have been named finalists in the Victorian Top Tourism
Town Awards, in separate categories, and we'd love to see both towns bring home a win.
Whether you're black and gold, green and white, or just proud to call this incredible part of Victoria home, let's show the rest of Victoria what makes our corner of the world so special.

From the team at Rochester Sports Museum congratulations Jeff - Life Membership is an amazing achievement

For more than 20 years, Jeff Bright has been the heartbeat of the club. The essence of what it means to be a Rochy Tiger.

His commitment, passion, and selfless attitude have shaped the club into what it is today. If something needed doing, Jeff was already onto it! Help us in congratulating Jeff, a true life member in every sense of the word. 💛💛
