Bacchus Marsh Football and Netball Club, is located in Bacchus Marsh and competes in the Ballarat Football League which is part of the Victorian Country Football League. The home ground of Bacchus Marsh is Maddingley Park, located to the south of Bacchus Marsh.
The club was originally two different clubs: the Bacchus Marsh Tigers who wore a black guernsey with a yellow strip going diagonally from top left to bottom right, and the Maddingley Cobras who wore a black guernsey with a red strip going diagonally from top left to bottom right. The two teams merged in the early 1970's to form the Bacchus Marsh Cobras who now wear a black guernsey with two "v" shape strips, one red, one yellow starting at the top left and finishing on the top right.
