History
The Nunawading Warriors Gridiron Club was founded in 1986 by the late James White. The Warriors won the minor premiership in 1988, however were eliminated in the finals series with two consecutive losses. The Warriors would have to wait a decade before they returned to the finals series, which happened in 1998 with a semi final loss to the now defunct Banyule Panthers. From this point, the Warriors have been the pre-eminent team in Gridiron Victoria, going on to play finals football every year except 2003 and winning 8 of the 11 Vicbowls they have contested since 2000. With a win in 2010, the Warriors performed a 3-peat of State Championships. They also completed their second 3-Peat after defeating the Buccaneers in 2012, 2013 & 2014.
Our Division 2 Barbarians also were able to win their first Championship in 2013. The Warriors made history by winning both the Division I Vicbowl and Division II Championship in the same season (Currently there are no other clubs with 2 teams).
The Warriors Junior program has also had great success in winning in 2003 and most recently in 2009 Junior Championship.
