and we went under the name of Elizabeth North Soccer Club. We fielded 2 senior teams only at this time. Unfortunately, we received very little support from the Elizabeth Council and Munno Para Council came to our aid and helped us find suitable grounds – Uley Reserve – Uley Road Elizabeth Downs. We then adopted our name, Munno Para City Soccer Club.
In those days we had very little in the way of equipment and finances and players towed a little red caravan to and from games which they utilized as their change rooms, come club room, come canteen. Eventually, the club managed to raise enough money to buy a
small shed, but there were not enough funds left to have a concrete floor laid so they made do with just the shelter. Six months later the concrete floor was poured.
Our flood lights were donated to the club and players/committee members erected them themselves, digging by hand 1m x 1m holes.
Good things come to those who wait and eventually enough funds were raised to secure a deposit on a small building to be used as change rooms. The TAFE College at Gepps Cross took on the project of constructing our building. Our aim was to buy our change rooms, but unfortunately this was not to be so and the Munno Para City Council soon took over the building and we leased it back from them.
In 1990 our first Jumor team was fielded and in 1991 our change room was opened by the Mayor Jo Gapper and we became an Incorporated body. We tried to make our change rooms as comfortable as possible utilizing what space we had and they soon became our club rooms.
Between 1991 and 1997 our Junior squads increased from I to 18. We have 220 registered junior players and we have 3 senior squads giving us approximately 265 members. Our growth has been fantastic and we are now the 3rd largest club in the Elizabeth and Districts Jumor Soccer Association, something no one dreamt of or could have foreseen.
Our Juniors are our history in the making. We want for them to strive to be our future and achieve our goal – to be “The Pride Of The North”
