Club history

The Golden Grove Football Club is a very young club established in 1995 with six junior teams, which has now grown to twelve. The senior club commenced in 1997, with A & B Grades competing in A7. The inaugural year augured well for the future with both grades reaching the Grand Final and our A grade co-captain, Phil Attenborough receiving the Association Medal. The C Grade was included in 1998, and three senior teams remain strongly competitive to date.

The Club was formed in 1995 to cater for six junior teams ranging from Under 8 to Under 15, a number which has now grown to twelve teams. In 1996 it fielded an Under 17 team in the SAAFL and then two senior teams in 1997. It's first premiership was won by the "B" grade in 2002, but the "A" grade followed suit the year after. The Club has developed quickly and anticipates a new oval and clubrooms during 2004-05. The record holder for games played is Brett Elsworthy who in 2002 became the first player to reach 100 games.

After hundreds of games at Harpers Field, never before has the ground graced the presence of two superstars of the game, like Tommy Lipson and the super elusive Jarrod Wareing in the Porland forward lines.

Both player are the reason the Thunder got over the line and both are magnificent players.

Coach Pearce - is lucky to have players of this greatness come back into the side and give th

2010, Rnd GRAND, D4: Pooraka v Golden Grove | scratch and sniff (sniff, snif |

In January of this year an old friend was invited back into my life as the result of a half hearted attempt to stay in touch with people I learned life’s early lessons with.  Specifically it was a BBQ.  Perhaps it was the pre mixed bourbon speaking but he offered me a chance to stay in touch through football; as the Pooraka runner.  I said yes largely from compulsion of being

Wet weather football made a return to Harper’s Field; a home ground that would make an eloquent title to a classic novel about teenage angst in the post war period of urban expansion penned by Delfin.  A pleasing curtain of cold precipitation allowed home supporters and visitors alike to scan across the blanketed surroundings and imagine they were somewhere enchanting like West

Golden Grove had every right to feel confident making the trip to Kingswood Oval given their recent form against quality opposition, but their day was anything but easy.

In the lower grades, the Jets Cs had a disappointing road trip to Harpers Field going down by 122 points whilst back at Jet Park in the earlier encounter The Jets B-Grade scored an upset over the top placed Kookaburras Reser
