Hindmarsh? Wtf

[Look Good In Leather]

SMWL = SMOSH West Lakes (FC) ......hasn't been SMOSH since 1994.

Saint Michael's Old Scholars Hindmarsh West Lakes Football Club just rolls off the tongue

Would be even better if it was Saint Michael's Old Scholars Hindmarsh CYMS Semaphore Park West Lakes Football Club

Your impressed or jealous?.....

It was a tongue-in-cheek comment relating to how long the name could be if it included all the merged clubs and previous guises.

[Look Good In Leather]

Hindmarsh? Wtf

Hindmarsh CYMS FC became Saint Michaels Old Scholars & Hindmarsh FC in 1975

Not sure the exact history if there was a separate Saint Michaels Old Scholars FC that merged or if it was an Unley Mercedes Jets style rebranding.

Hindmarsh CYMS came from the old CYMS association (Catholic Young Men's Society)

You're pretty well on the mark.......After renaming itself in SMOSH in 1975 and Semaphore Park renaming itself in 1984 to West Lakes FC.....both Clubs merged in 1994 to become as its known today. The merge by and large was that SMOSH had to find a new home and West Lakes was happy improve its stock beyond Divisions 5 and 6. The mixture of "rebranding" and a "merger" has benefited both Clubs looking to the future....

SMOSH now has 4 senior teams, most of those would have been single team clubs, particularly the church teams. Not all of them were in existence at the same time.

Also remember that there were not as many other options to Football as a social outlet.

Go the mighty SMOSHCYMSWL!!!!

I stand to be corrected on this but I understand there was an Oval near the rail tracks and adjacent to the Clipsal Plant at Bowden. Later on it
became home to a soccer Club..... (Adelaide City...maybe???? ) (Hindmarsh stadium obviously is on the other side of Port Road). Subsequently they moved to play at the St Michaels Junior School then moved on to the Henley area for a couple of seasons before going to Royal Park....

Would be a good thread for working out who these clubs where and what happened to them

SMOSH would have plenty of jumpers to choose from for Past Players Days

1996 was the first season of the amalgamated SMOSH West Lakes. Commenced in Div 2 (or Premier 2 as it was for I think just the one season?)

My bad.....1996 is correct re the merger......1994 was when "SMOSH" won the flag that put them into Division 2.

Correct that was the start of our run lost to SMOSH in 94 in A3 then Athelstone in 96 in P2 and Goodie Saints in 97 in A1. Good times

I know it would suck losing a flag, let alone a few in close succession, but 3 promotions in 4 seasons to get to the top flight is a fair run

[Happy Endings]

1 team I haven't heard much from in the pre -season is SPOC. How they traveling and is Hilly still at the reigns?

Interesting that 2 teams who have won Div 1 premierships are in Div 2.

If Facebook is a good guide Gaza will be back in div one next year
