About Us

In 1972, two men talking together over a back fence shared a vision, of the St John Bosco Youth Boys’ Club, as it was known then, having its own soccer club. These men were Len Parker and Colin Laver. Their conversation led to the first meeting that was held with people interested in setting up a Soccer Sub-Committee. Those that attended the first meeting were Len Parker, Colin Laver, Patricia Laver, Ted Leese and Cas Castalyne. The meeting was held at the home of Pat and Col Laver. During this meeting many positive actions were taken. One decision led to a phone call being made to Bill Charlton in which he was informed that he had just been elected as the Club’s inaugural President.

The decisions from that meeting were taken to the St John Bosco Youth Boys’ Club for approval, along with a request for financial assistance. The princely sum of $100.00 was awarded and this money was then spent on soccer shirts. The dream had become a reality. The formation of the Club continued with three nursery teams and one competition team. In those days this was the minimum number of teams that a soccer club could register with the Sutherland Shire Junior Association.
