Club History

The Idea of Bligh Park Soccer Club was formed, as most clubs are, by a group of Football (Soccer) buffs at a Backyard BBQ in 1990.
Bligh Park being a newly established suburb of Windsor and having no local soccer club, this bunch of new residents set about finding out how to form a club.
Later that year they took out an application to Nepean District Soccer Football Association to affiliate and with the club receiving sponsorship from Windsor Leagues Club to start the ball rolling were known as “Windsor Leagues Social Soccer Club” (this explains the name wolves as well) playing their first year of competition in 1991 with 2 under 6 teams, 1 under 7 team and 1 All Age Mens’ team.
Our home ground in the beginning was Bounty Reserve, Bligh Park, which is still retained as training fields.
By the end of 1991 the club had become incorporated, and altered the name to Bligh Park Soccer Club.

In 1992 the club increased in size to 10 teams and continued to grow in leaps and bounds until the housing development in Bligh Park and nearby Windsor Downs reached its completion. With the club fielding as many as 40 teams at its peak.

In the late 1990’s the club had outgrown Bounty Reserve and was allocated Berger Road Reserve in South Windsor. The move to Berger Road was not the happiest of times as in the first three years of residence, there were three break-ins and an arson attack that saw the amenities block completely destroyed along with $30,000 in stock and equipment. With the amenities block requiring a complete rebuild, the club started the 1998 season with a tent for a Canteen.

 

In the late to mid 2000s with the help of our association along with Hawkesbury sports council a watering system, lighting and draining had been installed at Berger Road Reserve enabling the club to provide regular weekend and night games for the association and our Hawkesbury neighbouring clubs.

Bligh Park Soccer Club has been a vehicle for community involvement and social interaction for many families over the years, and while it provides many levels of competitiveness for teams, the focus has never been on winning at all costs. It is often the first place that new residents to the community come to and more often than not where they form long lasting, firm friendships.
We are a club where everyone, regardless of skill level, or football knowledge, are made to feel welcome.

Over the years it has hosted coaching clinics & holiday camps and well has having had some great social activities in its early years when it was small and manageable. These included a car rally, a fancy dress ball (for the whole family), family picnics and countless trivia nights.Bligh Park Soccer Club has been a strong supporter of female football in the district since its introduction and has enjoyed a very high female participation rate although not always with enough numbers to field teams in older age groups and adults. In 2021 the club was represented by two All Age Women’s sides and a junior non-competition team almost exclusively female.
Many of its past committee members have proceeded to the next level of administration of the game by progressing to district level management. These include past presidents, Ross Snashall, Rob Nolan, Peter Budd, past secretary and treasurer Linda Cerone, who is now the CEO of Nepean Football Association.

The club is now over 30 years old and is well established although it has had its rocky moments down the years. Bligh Park Soccer Club is working to re-establish itself as the premier club of the Windsor area, over the past few years for their own reasons many residents have chosen to play for other local clubs. We want to be seen as the club that is in Windsor for Windsor. We try to keep things simple but efficient and encourage community participation. We are passionate about developing our members football skills and knowledge while also providing an inclusive environment for all that wish to play the game of football. We are connected to the local business community for financial and social partnerships. We work with Nepean Football Association and the other Hawkesbury clubs to achieve our combined interests in facilities and football development.

Fund Raising

Fundraising is a marathon. It requires endurance, commitment, discipline, and moving through tough times. Fundraisers produce the additional income for clubs and organizations (and even make up the bulk of an organization’s income).

Therefore, fundraising has become essential. In addition to ensuring financial stability, it also brings a sense of cooperation by bringing students, staff, parents, and the community together.
