## History

[edit]

A public meeting was called to be held at the St Albans Fire Station in September 1946. The reason for this meeting was to form a Football Club, that is the St Albans Football Club as we know it today. Twenty-six people attended this meeting and Mr W E Perrett was elected as President for the first year. Moreover, Mr J Douglas and Mr S Taylor were appointed secretary and coach respectively. The club was to be located at Errington Reserve. Mr S Taylor and Mr A McPherson were elected as captain and vice captain respectively.

In March, St Albans FC was officially accepted into the Western Region Football League, which was at the time known as the Footscray District Football League. Competitive matches were to start on the 26th of the following month. Nevertheless, before the commencement of the league, St Albans opted to play a practice match against ICI from Deer Park, its first ever match.

In December 2022 the club transitioned across to the Essendon District Football League and will compete in the 2023 season in Division One.
