[edit] History
The Renmark football club was originally formed in 1909 with a bunch of smaller Renmark teams merging together into the one side, the very next year they were successful in winning their first Pennant. By the end of 1915 Renmark had 4 premierships and saw further success in the next few decades with a treble from 1926-27 and back to back titles in 1977,1978 and in 1981,1982. The Rovers most recent premiership came in 1995 and to date the rovers have struggled to find the winning combination with their A grade side.

[edit] Membership and attendance
Renmark has always had a core group of supporters who travel with the club to away games but as with all clubs it's the home games where the regular supporters are at their maximum. The majority of who swamp the front of the football clubrooms, beer in hand yelling and screaming every kick no matter what the score is.
