Modbury Football Club

The Modbury Football Club (nicknamed the Hawks) is an Australian rules football club based in Modbury, a suburb of Adelaide in South Australia.

Senior teams compete in the South Australian Amateur Football League and junior teams in the North Eastern Metropolitan Junior Football League.

The first game recorded as taking place was between Modbury and the Adelaide Football Club in 1862.

The two teams met again the following year, on a strip of land near the Modbury Hotel (Civic Park), when "the game was kept up with the greatest spirit and good feeling, and so equally were the sides matched that not a goal was obtained" To celebrate the 100th anniversary, in 1962, and during the state's 150th-year celebrations, in 1986, a special game was played between the Modbury Football Club and the South Adelaide Football Club at Modbury Oval to commemorate two of the oldest clubs in the state.

We love our club and we play to win, Riding the bumps with a grin, at Modbury.
