We are proud to announce the Old Scotch Football Club has been awarded the winner of:

Inclusive Club of the Year

This is awarded to a club that has delivered a program, event or project which primarily focusses on welcoming and engaging underrepresented groups/communities to the sports club.

Having been an exclusive male club for 97 years OSFC introduced their first women’s team in 2018. Women and girls participation at the club continues to thrive and grow each year with many now actively involved as players, team managers, physiotherapists, trainers, committee members and a variety of volunteer and coaching roles.
