OUR HISTORY

Filled with tradition, the Mount Lawley Football Club is recognised as one of the most successful clubs in the Western Australian Amateur Football League with a proud history of club and individual achievements.

 

The Mount Lawley Amateur Football Club was incorporated in 1963, recording a premiership in its first year. Since then the Club has won 32 premierships in different divisions, mostly at A Division. Mt Lawley was originally based at Inglewood Oval, moved to Hamer Park in 1976 and, after a significant redevelopment, returned to Inglewood Oval in 2022.

 

The Club’s original jumper, which has undergone four changes. The original jumper was black, with a broad white band from shoulder to waist. The first change, in 1970, was to a green jumper with a black and white band around the waist. In the mid 70’s, the green was replaced with red but kept the black and white band around the waist.  It was around this time the club adopted the “Hawks” branding.  In 1983 the club changed to a red, white and black strip (similar to St Kilda's jumper). In 2002 the red, white and black jumper took on the stylised Hawk on the front left panel and is the Club’s present jumper .

 

The Club has produced seven All Australian Amateur players, more than any other Amateur club in Australia, with these being selected in the Club’s halcyon years from 1983 to 1992, when the Club won seven A Grade premierships.

 

In the Club’s 50th Anniversary year, 2013, a Hall of Fame was launched to acknowledge individual achievements and contributions to the Club. There were eight individuals originally inducted, whose names appear on the Honour Board. Several more individuals have inducted in the ensuing years.  

 

The Club has been extremely successful and is recognised as one of the strongest and best administered clubs in the Perth Football League. While we have also had our share of 'lean' seasons, the Club has always maintained a positive and inclusive culture. 

 

That’s what makes “Our Club, Our Home”.
