The club may no longer exist, but the Parish and Eastwell families will forever hold a place in the club's record books.
Tom Parish coached the club to its first senior premiership in 1965, playing alongside Ron Eastwell.
Fast forward 27 years and the two premiership players were watching proudly as their sons Geoff and Daryl led the club to its second premiership.
"It was magic," Ron said.
Daryl coached the club to what was to be its final premiership, with Geoff playing a starring role at full forward.
Daryl, who was playing coach from 1991 to 1994, said he was blessed to be working with a talented group.
"It was just a fantastic side," Daryl said. "They were all good blokes and we had good players all over the ground.
"We had Geoff Parish, the best forward in the Wimmera, and Billy Kemp at centre half forward.
"Our ruckman Rob Maynard dominated and we had a top midfield with Scott Batchelor and Billy Schmidt in there.
"Our defence was very solid too."
Homers dominated the 1992 season.
In a match against Gerang-Kiata, they kicked a league record score of 55 goals and restricted their opponents to just a single goal.
The record still stands.
Rob Maynard equalled a league record that day, kicking 25 goals.
It equalled a record set by Homers player Kevin Smith in the club's first premiership year.
Geoff also broke the Horsham District Football League goal-kicking record that season, kicking 154 goals in the home and away rounds and finishing with 171 goals for the season.
That record has since been broken by former Rupanyup spearhead Paul Morgan.
Tom and Ron believe their premiership team was just as good, if not better.
"A lot of people don't realise we didn't have reserves back then," Tom said.
"You had to work hard to get your spot, otherwise you were stuck on the sidelines watching.
"That's why we were so strong."
"We would have killed these blokes," Ron added. "When we got bumped, we didn't fall over.
"If we got dirt in our finger nails we didn't go running to the bench either.
"We were brought up tough."
However, Tom recalls a match where poor weather forced them off the field.
"It's the only time I can ever recall a game being called off," Tom said.
"At half time both teams agreed it was too wet and cold, so we went to the pub and got a keg.
"The league ended up fining us and not giving us any points."
The Parish and Eastwell families share a close bond ? not only as premiership players but as friends and former neighbours.
Long before Geoff and Daryl played in a premiership together, they spent hours kicking the football.
"We grew up together," Geoff said.
"We lived behind each other and we had a little gate in our backyard to get to each other's house.
"We spent a lot of time in each other's backyard kicking the footy.
"It was something we started doing as toddlers."
Geoff and Daryl also played in a premiership with Horsham in the Wimmera Football League together.
All four players speak with sadness when they talk about the demise of the Homers Football Club.
The club relocated and changed its name to North Horsham in its final years before folding in 1999.
"The older you get, the more it hurts," Daryl said.
Geoff agreed.
"It was terrible to see," Geoff said.
"The worst thing that ever happened was when they got rid of our home ground, Oatlands Park.
"It was never the same."
To mark the 20th anniversary of the club's 1992 premiership, there will be a reunion in Horsham in June.
Organiser and premiership player Bill Schmidt said it would be at the Horsham Football Netball Clubrooms from 7pm on Saturday, June 9.
Schmidt said the reunion was not restricted to those involved in the 1992 premiership.
"We want to invite anyone who has been part of the club's history," he said.
"We've tried our best to track everyone down, especially players and club committee members in the premiership years of 1965 and 1992.
"But all past players and supporters over the years are invited as well."
Schmidt said a two-course meal would be available for $30 a head.
He asked any former players or supporters who wanted to attend to contact him on 0419 138 995.
He said people could also buy tickets from Geoff Parish at Shelton and Lane Stationary, 59 Wilson Street, Horsham.
