New Lambton FC is a football club from New South Wales, Australia. The club currently competes in the National Premier Leagues Northern NSW.
Club history[edit]
Football in New Lambton can be traced back to 1917 when the first competitive game was played somewhere near the corner of Mackie Ave and St James Rd. New Lambton played a team made up of Miners from Lambton. This history is honored by the miners lamp and date on New Lambton’s crest.[2]
In 1974, New Lambton won the Northern New South Wales Ampol Cup, a cup for all clubs across the region and parts of the state.
Fast forward to 2007 (with approximately 250 players), New Lambton FC (the then New Lambton Junior Soccer Club), commenced a daring growth strategy which included a move from Alder Park to Novocastrian Park and in the years thereafter, strategic initiatives implemented to build the ‘club of choice’ in Newcastle.
In 2016, NLFC merged with the New Lambton Eagles – bringing the two clubs back together after 40 years. The merger and the club’s unrivaled development program creates the platform for New Lambton to once again be well-positioned for a rebirth in 1st Division.[3]
Currently, three grounds are shared by the club, where the main ground - Alder Park - is used by the main teams.[4]
