Mighty Moggills or "Up the Geckos"

A suburb, a creek and a major arterial road share the name “Moggill”, derived from “magil”, meaning water dragon in two local Aboriginal languages.

The Moggill United Soccer Club was formed in 1974. Games were originally played on the site currently occupied by the "Dog Park" in Birkin Rd. Night games were played under lights powered by a portable generator. The club founder was Robbie Roosen and the inaugral Under 7 team became Brisbane Champions.

The Bellbowrie Sports and Recreation Association was formed in the early 80's with Soccer coming under their umbrella. We were seperately incorporated as the Moggill United Soccer Club in April 1999. 

The senior men’s team won their first ever title in 1985 beating Annerley in the div 4 GF. Afterwards the whole team did laps of Bellbowrie on the back of Joe & Kay Chapman’s turfing truck. Was quite a celebration. We won the double again in 1987 and then won the league but lost the GF in 91. Then in 96 won an epic grudge match GF against South Star. We lost to them 3 times during the year only to beat them in the grand final played at Beenleigh.

The Club changed its name to the Moggill Football Club (MFC) in 2006.  

MFC caters to boys and girls from 4-64 with Squirts, Junior mixed, Divisional Age, Youth, Senior Men, Open Women and Over 35.

In 2021, Field 1 of the Moggill Football Club was renamed in honour of Simon Clark . Thanks to BCC constraints it's pseudonym is Clark Field but it will always be "Clark Park" to us.

Season 2024 marked the 50^th anniversary of the Moggill Football Club and the 8th year in a row Tapps has updated this site.

• The senior team played in Division 5 and made the final 4 (out of 12)
