History
Kedron Football Club
The Kedron Football Club was formed in 1937 by past pupils of Kedron and Wooloowin State Schools and debuted in the QANFL that year. Although nicknamed the Redlegs, their official emblem was the Lion and the club wore sky blue and red as their colours, however in 1982 they adopted the royal blue and red guernsey as worn by Melbourne Football Club. In both 1939 and 1940 they reached the Grand Final, losing to Windsor on each occasion. They made the Grand Final for the third successive year in 1941 and this time claimed their maiden premiership with a win over Mayne. Kedron, who won back to back premierships in 1943/44 and appeared in every Grand Final from 1946 to 1950, established themselves as Queensland's strongest club in the 1940s. In each of those premiership deciders, Kedron took on Windsor and came out on top in 1946 and 1948. After claiming another premiership in 1959, Kedron suffered a drought until 1980 when they beat Coorparoo by 48 points to win the Grand Final.Merger

Women's Football - In 2003 under the Kedron Junior Club's umbrella, Kedron fielded a team "The Lady Lions" in the newly formed senior women's competition. Kedron did not field a women's team in 2014/15 but in 2016, after a two year hiatus, senior women's football returned to E. K. Anderson Oval and in 2017 the team was runner up in the grand final. On 25 August 2019 the Lady Lions met top of the ladder and flag favourites Burleigh Heads at Leyshon Park, Yeronga, for the QFAW Division 1 premiership. On that day they made club history by winning the Kedron Football Club's inaugural Women's premiership. The historical win was made more remarkable in that before round 15 the Lady Lions were outside the final four and won six games straight on their way to Grand Final glory. Final Score: Kedron 6.6 - 42 Burleigh Heads 5.8 - 38 Men's Football - Then by 2006 once again with the Junior Club's support after a 2 year merger between Strathpine, Mayne and Kedron to form 'Central Districts Cougars' Under 18s - based out of Kedron FC, a senior men's team returned to open age football via the Queensland State Association division. The men won the flag that year with captain Travis McMain winning League Best & Fairest and Denny 'Willo' Willoughby winning Leading Goalkicker for the season including a competition record of 18 goals in one game. Stevo Rees finished Runner Up by 1 goal. The team was runners up in 2010 and in 2015, playing in the QAFA (B) competition, they were undefeated premiers and as a consequence in 2016 the club fielded men's senior and reserves teams in the QAFA (A) competition.
