Mascot/Nickname: JetsThe Club was formed by a group of staff and students from Unley High School who wished to progress from the mayhem of once-yearly staff/student football matches. An Unley High Old Scholars Association was formed and a team with the Unley High Old Scholars name and School guernsey (royal blue with a gold 'V') was entered in the Amateur League in 1970. The Club played on the School oval and its first coach was Graham Dodd (later to be Deputy Chairman of the Amateur League). The Club in conjunction with the Southern Suburbs Rugby Club was granted approval for the construction of a two-storey clubroom overlooking Kingswood Oval, and the Kingswood Sports and Social Club complex was completed in 1976. The first premiership team in 1977 was coached by Ellis Burchell, and the first 'A' team premiership came in 1993 under coach Greg Parker. The Club record holder for games played is David Stanes with 318 followed closely by Nigel Koschade with 303.

Whilst for the other sides there was a week to go before finals, this round brought them early to Unley as they battled Kilburn for the last spot in the top 5. It was a sudden death playoff at Jet Park with both sides having 10 wins a piece, no other result having an impact on the makeup of the final 5. Unley had narrowly avoided defeat last time the teams met, but in the i

For visiting sides, Edwin Smith Reserve is always a tough ask. The imposing structure of ‘the big house’ and the image of razor wire casts a shroud of malevolence over the battleground. The Dragons have a reputation to match, and despite an inconsistent start, they seem to be peaking at the right time of the season and looking at a top three finish.

The log jam in the upper half of the Div 4 Comp remained unchanged after last week’s results with 6 teams vying for the final 5 spots going into round 16 and only 2 games separating 6th from 1st. Unley, a game clear of Kilburn and in 5th position, had the challenge of playing Scotch at The Picket Fence, the pain of losing by 2 points in the first clash earlier in the season still

With only 3 wins separating 6th from 1st going into round 15, every game is 'must win' for those in the top 5. For Unley, this week’s game against Elizabeth at Thebarton Oval loomed as a potential danger, especially given the recent run of upset wins throughout the Division. The Jets, comfortable winners in the first encounter with The Eagles in round 6, needed to tak

Round 14 is really crunch time for many sides. Some are looking to consolidate a second chance position in the top three, some to maintain their chance to play in the finals, and some to avoid the dreaded ‘R’ word at the bottom end of the table. Everyone has something to play for and plenty to lose.
This round brought together The Jets, desperate to stay in tou

The second half of the season provides sides with a good opportunity to judge their progress when they come up against teams who beat them first time around. For the Jets, Salisbury were the only team to win convincingly against them in the first half of the season with a 10 goal margin back in round 2, so this would be a litmus test for Unley who are desperate to stamp their authority on th

Conditions at Unley for the triple header v Pulteney were almost perfect for footy, if not a trifle cool for the spectators. A mild westerly, worth maybe a goal or two, favoured “the hills” end of the ground whilst sunny breaks took the chill out of the air throughout the afternoon. The odd patch of fine drizzle made no difference to the overall style of play.

The Dragon’s travelled to Kingswood Oval to do battle with an Unley side still smarting after a 2 point loss to league leaders Scotch last round in a game they should have won. Greenacres are a side worthy of respect and with the chance to move a game clear in the top 5 on the line, both sides had a lot riding on the encounter.
The Unley C-Grade had the week off but in the

(Once again the Jets roving reporter had work commitments, only seeing the last half of this week’s game and cannot provide the usual in depth summary…)
With Westminster still searching for the season’s first win, and the Jets coming off a less than polished performance against Hectorville in the last round, this week shaped up as very important for both teams. &nb

Unley will be wishing the visiting side had paid heed to the “no dogs” signage at Kingswood Oval as the Hectorville Hounds prevailed and jumped above The Jets on the Div 4 table in their round 4 clash.
The visitors didn’t have it all their own way with the Unley C grade getting up by 72 points in wet and slippery conditions and the B grade coming out 50 point winners, 13

The trip to the Lion’s Den is never one to take lightly, and regardless of preceding form, Fitzroy can always pop up and threaten to ruin the outing for unwary sides. The hills and valleys of the playing surface arguably give this ground one of the best advantages to the home side, and coupled with a reputation for physicality, the trip to the Inner North West needs careful consi

(As Unley’s roving reporter I was not able to be at the game due to work commitments and therefore can only provide general commentary based on third party feedback.)
Word on the streets would have it that Salisbury and Unley are two of the teams to beat this season, though such pre-first-round musings fail to take into account the very variable nature of amateur footy from one season

After finishing 4th in Season 2010 the Jets are keen to improve their standing in season 2011 and started that job by matching up against old rivals Pulteney in their round one clash at Morgan Oval.
Unley on paper seem to have more depth this year, but with some unseen new arrivals the season opener always has the potential to dash pre-season hopes and aspirations. The correspon

Unley, in their 40th year, had produced it’s best season of the last decade and a half and had a right to feel confident, given its efforts through the latter part of the year particularly, of taking the game up to Greenacres in the sudden death First Semi-final.
The last time the teams met, Unley lost 2 key players very early and ended up with no bench to only lose by 2.1, so it wa

Sudden death finals – nail biting stuff. Both team looking ahead knowing only one will go on to the next round, the other will be cleaning the gear and putting it away until season 2011.
Salisbury had the unenviable task of taking on Unley at home to keep the finals dream alive – Unley knew they’d beaten The Maggies twice already but that their opponents had

Finals came early for Unley and Westminster in their final round clash at Kingswood Oval. Both Sides playing for a spot in the five, with the loser packing up the bags for next year.
The ground was in typical mid-winter condition, muddy patches in the centre square and goal mouths, and with heavy overnight rain and two lower grade matches to precede it, it was always going to be an
