Reading some historical items over the history of the SANFL I have found references to a "Dutton Park" FC which particpated in the early days of the league, I cant find a great deal of information on them though, does anyone have anything that might shed some light on their history with the SANFL?

Named after Francis Dutton, one of the early discoverers of copper in the Kapunda area.
