Marrar is a town in the central east part of the Riverina region of New South Wales. Australia. The town is situated about 21 kilometres (13 mi) west of Old Junee and 32 kilometres (20 mi) north of Downside. At the 2016 census, Marrar had a population of 368.[1]
The most popular sport in Marrar is Australian rules football, as it lies in the narrow 'canola belt', a geographical triangle stretching from the town to Grong Grong at either end of the Canola Way, to Lake Cargelligo, in which Australian football retains a strong following, despite New South Wales being a largely rugby league supporting state.
The Marrar Football Club won the 1918 Coolamon District Football Association premiership.[3][4]
Marr FC then played in the Central Riverina Football League from 1957 to 1981 and were premiers in 1965, 1966 and 1979 and were runners up in 1958, 1959, 1960, 1971, 1977, 1980 and 1981.
Marra FC have played in the Farrer Football League since 1982 and have won senior football premierships in 1995 and 1996, 2017 and 2018.
