About Annerley FC
Annerley Football Club is located in the Annerley / Greenslopes area on Norman Creek. The Club provides quality facilities and football to Inner-South Brisbane Community, catering to all age levels and abilities from Squirts to Capital One Men and BWPL Women.
The Club was established in 1945, known as the Annerley Boomerangs. The name was later changed to Annerley Stars Soccer Club with its matches being played at the Junction Park State School.
In 1946, with the help of the Brisbane City Council, work began on the Ekibin Reserve; which will be the site of the Annerley Recreation Club’s Seniors’ Clubhouse and field No.1. During the time of the Southeast Freeway’s construction in the 1970s, the grounds expanded to the section between Juliette and Ridge Streets, including the Elder Oval’s site.
Initially playing in the Brisbane junior competition, Annerley Football Club transferred to senior football Division Five in 1949. For winning consecutive promotions in 1954 to 1956, the Club moved to Division Four to Division One in three seasons.
With mid-table finishes in 1957 and 1958, Annerley FC rose to Division One. In the 1959 season, the club won Division One against Oxley United and the right to be named Brisbane soccer’s champion club via 5-4 grand finals win against Hellenic.
