Goodwood Saints Football Club History
The Goodwood Saints Football Club was established in 1985 with the amalgamation of Goodwood Football Club and St. Raphaels Football Club.
The club commenced in A4 and immediately earned promotion to A3 by reaching the grand final. The result was an unfortunate loss to Glenunga by 10 points.
In 1986 the Saints finished 6th but under the guidance of coach Trevor Ash the club improved to win the 1987 A3 premiership.
1990 proved a standout year for the Saints. The side lost only one game in the season culminating in a grand final victory over Gaza by 37 points.
The club was promoted to A1 SAAFL in 1991 and has remained in A1 for the next 20 seasons. No other club has remained in the top division in this time.
Goodwood Saints was one of the founding members of the Metro South Junior Football League in 1998, and have won 8 Premierships. 2008 was a particularly good season for Goodwood with them winning 4 premierships, Under 12's, Under 13's, Under 14's and Under 15's all winning the flag that year.
Goodwood have had 3 of their past Juniors drafted to the AFL.
