- The club was founded after a group of local lads got tired of playing scratch matches on a Sunday afternoon at Morialta Park and Foxfield. They decided that they wanted to play against better opposition and also have better playing conditions where they would not have to worry about avoiding artichokes, trees, cow manure and rocks. That group of lads got together at the local meeting place, Peter Centofanti's General Store on Montacute Road, and resolved that they would start their own team.
