History
Early Years & Success (1984 – 1988)
In White Hills' early years in HDFL it has had its peak in quality football and its most success in its history. From 1984 to 1988 it won one premiership and was runner-up once as well however three years after its entrance into the league it was runner-up which was surprisingly early, and year later it won the 1988 HDFL Grand Final. it was looking like the club would be going onto to win many more flags in the future but nothing had happened it was stagnant and has had the biggest premiership drought in the league's and club's history (29 years) 1988– Present.
Recent Era (2003 – present)
in 2004 White Hills had finished in second in the HDFL and had looked like it was going to win another premiership after a pretty long Final drought however they fell short to Colbinabbin who had won the flag three times in a row. But they were looking to get back up their in the next season (2005) but unfortunately fell short again and it looked like they had rejuvenated the squad again and was looking like they had their finals hopes up, but they haven't been the same since those early days in 1988.
Rivalries
Because of the small sized football league rivalries are few and far between and most teams aren't overly aggressive towards another team, however White Hill's biggest rivals are North Bendigo, Huntly, Heathcote & Colbinabbin
