John Foord Oval

The Corowa-Rutherglen Football Netball Club, nicknamed the Kangaroos, is an Australian rules football club playing in the Ovens & Murray Football League.

The club is based in the towns of Corowa, New South Wales and Rutherglen, Victoria, located on the Murray River.

The club was formed in 1979 when the Corowa Spiders and Rutherglen Redlegs merged to become the Corowa-Rutherglen Roos.

Additionally surplus players formed the Rutherglen-Corowa Cats in 1979 and competed in the Coreen & District Football League for 13 seasons, before moving to the Ovens & King Football League for 11 seasons. Today the club is known as the Rutherglen Cats, dropping "Corowa" from their name in 2002, and have competed in the Tallangatta & District Football League since 2004.

The club is notable for producing several Australian Football League players including John Longmire.

In the 2016 Ovens & Murray FNL season it was announced that the Corowa-Rutherglen FNC would move the round 11 home match to Rutherglen's Barkley Park. This marked the first time a match was played in Rutherglen for premiership points since the 1981 Ovens & Murray FL season. Traditionally the Rutherglen Cats do not play on the Queen's Birthday Weekend as the town hosts the annual Winery Walkabout.
