Woodville Heritage Guernseys?

[Sojourner]

Some of the various SANFL sides have got out some of their heritage guernseys for another run, Woodville-West Torrens being no exception. I wondered then if the Woodville-West Torrens FC will be having a look into giving the original Woodville Guernseys a go?

Woodville were orginally Red and White, then altered their colours to being Purple and White, Will the club have a look at using either of these guernseys for Heritage-Rivalry round in the SANFL 2009 season?

The club formed to play in the Port and Suburban Competition in 1938 is the origin of the SANFL Woodville Football Club.

In 1938 that Woodville team played in red and white but in 1940 changed its uniform, to purple and white, and its competition by joining the SA Amateur league.

Woodville had early success in this competition with Premierships in A2 in 1941 and followed, after the WW2 recess of 4 years, with a Premiership in A1 in 1946.

Woodville Oval was the team's home ground from 1941

1947 saw the club again change its colours to the more familiar green and gold but further premierships in the Amateur league top grade eluded it. The best results in A1 were runner-up in 1947 and third in 1948 and 1950.

Very doubtful Sojourner I think the club has done all the heritage jumpers from both clubs.But CD would be the one to answer that question.
Otherwise WWT may turn up in a Port Natives jumper from 1897 in one heritage round say against PAM.

I liked the old " Lindsay Head days " uniform with the gold eagle on the front.

When they had the lace ups, that was the best footy jumper of them all.

Nah, the best footy jumper of them all was, is and always will be the Norwood Jumper.

Still have one of them tucked away in the cupboard.
