The amalgamation of the SE & Border Football League and the Western District Football League in 1964 saw the formation of the Western Border Football League, of which WestGambier was a foundation club.

In 1965 the club adopted the Norwood colours and a new style guernsey of navy blue with red yoke and red socks.

West gradually began its move up the ladder between 1967 and 1972, with a stable experienced team which knew defeat, and were eager for success: together with some extremely capable imports. In 1970 the club compete in the finals for the first time in the league but were defeated by South in the first final.

1973 was the last season West Gambier was to play at Vansittart Park as its home ground. The Tom Hall Trophy was made available for competition between the co-tenants of Vansittart Park in the Roos and Tigers and is still competed for today.

In 1976 the club colours were changed to those of the Melbourne Football Club – red and royal blue.

After reaching the finals in season 1998 under the coaching of Robin White, the club’s on field fortunes took a battering.

However,  a successful recruiting campaign led to more successful times, culminating in a finals appearance in 2006, however were defeated in the elimination final finishing fifth.

Season 2010 saw Keith ‘Hooker’ Ransom as coach and a number of recruits join the club and former juniors who had returned from stints in the SANFL. The young side earned a berth in the grand final, the first since 1979. Entering in to the GF the side had an average age of 21.5years, with 7 teenagers from 16-19yo and the oldest player at 28yo. The West Gambier side skipped out to a 6 goal lead at half time before hanging on for a 3 point victory, and the club’s second WBFL Seniors premiership.

West Gambier scored back to back premierships in season 2011 – only the fourth team to achieve this in the Western Border league.

In 2022, the West Gambier Netball Club put a stop to the Millicent Saints dominance by claiming the premiership in a hard-fought battle with an emotional ending. Both the football and netball sides will be strong as part of the inaugural Limestone Coast Football Netball League and will look to go all the way in 2024.
