The Port Melbourne Colts Football Club is an Australian rules football club and Senior Netball Club which joined the Southern Football League (Victoria) from 2016.[2]

History[edit]

The Club first came into being in 1957.

It was put together by three men, Alex James, Brian " Moppa " McBroom and John Berti. It all started when a group of young men had been playing in the YCW competition, at under 18 level, and having won the Premiership, wanted to stay together after they turned 18.

They then decided to play for a club named, Middle Park YCW, which in fact was the first year of our Club, it was called Middle Park Colts. As just about everyone who played for the team came from Port Melbourne the name was changed in 1958 to Port Colts, and the team commenced to playing at The Lagoon Oval in Graham Street, where we it remained for several years, until finally moving to our present home at Murphy Reserve in the late 60's.

The club originally played in the Sunday Suburban Football League, then the Melbourne Amateur Sunday Football Association. With the demise of the local football Sunday competitions, the Club turned to Saturdays and entered the Metropolitan Football League in 1969, where it remained for 6 years.

The Club then went into the Southern Football League for a few years, then to the Western Suburban League, which soon merged with the Footscray District League, and is now the Western Region Football League.

The club remained in the WRFL after the merge for 16 more years mostly competing in Division 1, before moving back to the Southern League in 2016 where they now compete in Division 1.

The Club originally started with just the one open-age team, until 1972, when the Reserves were added, and then in 1975 the juniors commenced, and have continued to the present day, they now have junior teams from under tens through to senior level for both Men and Women.

In 2021, Senior Netball joined the club and name of the Club was updated to include Netball in the name.
