History of the Port Kembla Footy Club

The Port Kembla Australian Football Club was formed in 1970 with four Junior teams (11's, 13's, 15's & 17's) taking part in the local competition. The Seniors formed in 1975 with First Grade and Reserve Grade teams taking part. Port Kembla First Grade won the Grand Final in their debut season.

Originally the team jumpers were modelled on the Collingwood colours, then, in 1989, changed to the Port Adelaide style of the day, and finally, changed to Port Kembla's chosen design in 1995, maintaining the colours of black and white and the "Blacks" logo.

In the 30 years that the club has been in existence it has only missed playing finals football twice in First Grade and three times in Reserve Grade. Port have won the Premiership flag four times. Their first was in their inaugural year (1975), then again in 1980, again in 1993 and the last Grand Final of last century (1999). Reserve Grade have picked up the flag on no fewer than 12 occasions, including making it a double for Firsts and Reserves in 1993 and 1999. The Port Kembla Footy Club has been Club Champions on 14 occasions throughout it's 30 year life.

As one of the most successful clubs in the Illawarra/South Coast Australian Football League, Port Kembla "Blacks" have appeared in seven of the last eleven First Grade Grand Finals, five of the last eleven Reserve Grade Grand Finals and have been Club Champions seven out of the last eleven seasons.

Club Song

Good old Port forever
We know how to play the game
Side by side we stick together
To uphold the Black boys' name (cor blimey)
Hear the barrackers a-shouting
Shouting as barrackers might! Might! Might!
For the Premiership's a cakewalk forever
For the mighty Black and Whites!

Round 14 Cancelled
The SCAFL was thrown into chaos last weekend as all games were called off due to the closure of grounds in both the Illawarra and Shoalhaven. The Blacks were to travel to Nowra to take on the Blues but those games will be null and void due to the entire round being declared a washout. The Blacks will now be at home to Bomaderry this weekend for Round 15 matches, looking for some vital competition points.
