The club would play in the Goulburn Valley Second Eighteens Football Association from its establishment in 1928 to 1941 (winning three premierships in this time: 1937, 1938, and 1940).[3] While the league changed its named to the Goulburn Valley Football Association, after WWII Lemnos found that their colours were already being used by the Shepparton East Football Club. As a result, the club applied for and entered the Goulburn Valley Football League. Being a town-based league, the clubs name was changed to Lemnos-Shepparton. Again, the black and yellow colours were already in use (this time by the Rushworth Football Club). As a result, in 1946 the club took up the use of a white jumper with a red v (similar to the VFL team of South Melbourne at the time). The first premiership the club won in this league was in 1959, beating Kyabram by 39 points. In the 1960s a series of improvements led to the club moving from Deakin Reserve to Princess Park in Shepparton. It wasn't until 1970 that Lemnos-Shepparton won another premiership, again beating Kyabram (this time by 35 points). In 1999, Lemnos-Shepparton formally adopted the new names of the Shepparton Swans, staying with this permanently.[4] HonoursPremierships
