Willaston 'Donnybrooks' Football Club

Club History

The Willaston Football Club was formed in the year 1889 from workers at the Willaston clay pits on the North Para River.

In the early days players used to get changed under the Willaston Bridge, however in 1964 the club moved to Elliott Goodger Memorial Park which used to be a RAAF base and at a later stage a migrant hostel.

In 1977 the club moved to our present clubrooms. The oval was changed from a cow paddock into one of the best ovals in the league.

🟥🟦 THE WORLD'S GREATEST SHAVE! 🟦🟥

Our club is proud to be taking part in the World’s Greatest Shave to help support families impacted by blood cancer 💛

Brave legends from our U13 & U16 Girls and U13, U15 & U17.5 Boys teams are stepping up to shave, colour or braid their hair on June 11 — all in the name of raising vital funds and awareness for the Leukaemia Foundation

At tonight’s training session, we were fortunate to have Aaron Eckermann from the Leukaemia Foundation, Jim Goode, and our very own Karen McColl speak with our teams about the meaning behind this important venture and the impact it has on so many families

Fundraising is a team effort and the online platform is now open! Head to the team of your brave shaver and click to donate — every dollar makes a difference
