After the Second World War the club amalgamated with the Ocean Grove Football Club and joined the Geelong District Football Association. The Barwon Heads/Ocean Grove team won their first senior premiership in 1957.
The clubs separated in the early 1960’s and a fierce rivalry developed. The matches played between these two clubs are well known as ‘The Battle of the Bridge” and a trophy named after Barwon Heads newsagent George Talbert was created in 1965 from a bed pan and a shower head and is presented to the winning team. This rivalry has continued to build over the years with huge crowds attending these matches.
The club joined the Bellarine Football League in 1971 winning premierships in 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1993.
