The Sunbury Kangaroos Football Club,. nicknamed the Kangaroos, is an Australian rules football club, previously known as Sunbury Rovers and situated 43 km north west of Melbourne in the town of Sunbury and affiliated with the Riddell District Football League. Originally known as the Sunbury Rovers, the team was formed so Sunbury had a team in both divisions of RDFL. The Rovers always struggled because the better players would join the other club, Fortunes improved when Sunbury FC left for the Ballarat Football League. The club changed to the Kangaroos after incentives from the North Melbourne Football Club to do so.
