2012 marks 50 years of football at the Australian National University, and while our Club’s name has changed a couple of times in those 50 years, much of what was started 50 years ago holds true today.

To celebrate our proud 50 year history, we will be holding special events throughout the year including a black tie gala dinner. So if you’ve been away from the Club for a while, get back in touch and join us this year to remember the half century past and to dream of the next half century to come.

If you’re new to the Club this year, you’ve picked an incredible year to become a part of our family— between the celebrations and the special merchandise, there won’t be a season quite like this for some time!
