The Bomaderry Tigers are an Australian rules football club based in the town of Bomaderry, New South Wales, and currently competes in the South Coast Australian Football League.
Club History[edit]
The Bomaderry Australian Football Club was established in 1969 and began competition in the Leisure Coast AFL, a predecessor to the current South Coast league, in 1970.[1] Originally the club's kit was yellow with long sleeves and a blue sash but eventually the same colours as Richmond of black and yellow was adopted. Bomaderry didn't have an official training venue or home playing ground in 1970, making use of Thurgate Oval in Bomaderry as their training ground before Artie Smith Oval became the club's official home ground.
Bomaderry endured three consecutive Grand Final defeats from 1974 to 1976 early on in their on-field history. Despite the club's Reserves side winning a premiership in 1978, the senior side had to wait until 1989 to win their first premiership. After the Tigers won their second premiership in 1994, the club went on to be one of the more powerhouse clubs in the 2000s, winning 6 premierships from 2000 to 2010, and the Reserves side winning the 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2010 Grand Finals.
A mid-season reorganisation in 2018 saw Bomaderry relegated to Division 2, which not only saw the Tigers' senior and reserves teams win their respective Grand Finals over Kiama and Figtree, but also gave the club the chance to further develop junior sides.[2]
The Bomaderry Tigers AFC celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2019.[3]
