Description:
The Yarraville Oval is an Australian Rules Football and Cricket ground located on the corner of Williamstown Road and Anderson Street in Yarraville, Victoria.
It is currently the home ground of the Yarraville/Seddon Eagles Football Club and the Yarraville Cricket Club, and in 1942 it was the home of the Footscray Football Club because the Western Oval was being used as an army base. The Western Region Football League also had its head office at the Oval until 2010.
The ground record crowd was set on 25 July 1942 when 15,000 fans turned out to see Footscray defeat eventual grand finalist Richmond by seven points in a high scoring game.
