Club Theme Song

Sunbury Football Club Theme Song
We’ve got a football team in Sunbury
We wear the royal blue & white
Each game we play – we’re trying all the time
We never give in without a fight
This year we’re going to be Premiers
Of the Ballarat League
Oh ! How they’ll barrack and how they’ll shout
The day of our Grand Final
When the Lions bring home the Premier’s flag
