Club History

Covered itself in glory by stealing another clubs captain, Kym Koster, condeming Glenelg to infamy forever. The Glenelg Football Club entered the South Australian League in 1921. It wasn't until May 2nd 1925 that the club saw its first league victory, a 12.6 (78) to 10.10 (70) win over West Torrens at Glenelg Oval.

"The Bays", as they are sometimes known, won their first SANFL premiership in 1934 with an 18.15 (123) to 16.18 (114) victory against Port Adelaide. The 1935 season saw them slump from first to last.

Until 1948, the team guernsey was gold with a black V, in 1949 the club adopted the now familiar black with gold sash design.
