The Kiewa Sandy Creek Football Netball Club, also known as KSCFNC, is a prominent sports club located in Indigo Shire, Victoria. The club is a member of the Tallangatta and District Football League and has a rich heritage that dates back to its establishment in 1969 through the merger of the Sandy Creek Football Club (founded in 1898) and Kiewa Football Club (founded in 1908).
KSCFNC is known for being a family-oriented club that places a strong emphasis on its junior grades. The club is proud to have some of the best facilities in the league, which have played a significant role in its growth over the years.

His son, Jacob, continues to wear the iconic number 27 jersey.
Another standout player in the club's history is Guy Telford, who broke the club goal kicking record in 2015 with 147 goals in a single season. Telford is fondly remembered as one of the league's great full forwards.
