Goodwood Saints Football Club

The 1990 season was a highlight in the club's short history, losing just one game on their way to a grand final victory over Gaza by 37 points.

Midfielder David Whelan won the Division 2 association medal and Stuart Wells kicked an impressive 128 goals for the season (including 15 in a game against Brighton High OS).

A desperate battle at Adelaide Oval against PHOS Camden saw captain Chris Slee and Honor lift the shield for a deserved 7-point victory.

The 1999 season saw Paul Page take over as playing coach with David Shaughnessy the new captain, but a great year was shattered with a 1-point grand final defeat.

From 5th position, the Saints beat allcomers and were rewarded with a deserved premiership on the back of a 35-point victory over Gaza at Adelaide Oval.

After losing the second semifinal, the side exacted the ultimate revenge on Gaza 2 weeks later, winning the grand final by 57 points.

They finished the home and away season as minor premier by the narrowest of margins, and earned a week off at the start of the finals campaign.

The second semifinal was played against Salisbury North at Goodwood Oval with the Saints moving straight into the grand final with a 16-point victory.

This time the margin was 29 points as coach Trent Mills and captain David Bartel held the premiership cup for the fourth consecutive year.

Finals were a different challenge however and after defeating Tea Tree Gully in difficult conditions at Goodwood Oval, a young Saints side outlasted premiership favourites Henley in the 2nd Semifinal.

The grand final against Henley at Thebarton Oval was a tight struggle, but the determined Saints extended their winning sequence to an unprecedented 5 consecutive Division 1 premierships by running out 19-point winners.

After toppling Salisbury North in the Qualifying Final, they were only able to score a single point in their 2nd Semifinal against eventual premiers Henley.
