Taroona Football Club is a soccer club which represents Taroona in the Tasmanian Southern Championship.
History
[edit]The first club in Taroona was Taroona Ajax, which was formed in 1972.[1] Taroon Ajax won the Division 1 league in 1973, gaining promotion to the Premier League for 1974.[2] They were relegated in 1974[3] and the club disbanded in 1976.[1]
Afterwards, a fresh club was started for juniors called the Taroona Junior Club.[1] In 1978, they merged with the St. Mirren Soccer Club from Lindisfarne to form the Taroona St. Mirren Soccer Club. In 1985, after the Tasmanian Soccer Association asked clubs to have one name only, the name was changed to Taroona Football Club.
Teams
[edit]Taroona Football Club fields men's and women's, youth and senior teams, across a number of divisions in Southern Tasmanian (FFT) competitions.[4] The club's colours are black and white on their home kit and black and tangerine on their away kit.
