The Two Wells Football Club, nicknamed the Roosters, is an Australian rules football club based in the town of Two Wells, South Australia and competes in the Adelaide Plains Football League.[1]

History[edit]

On 23 July 1908 a group of interested persons met to form the Two Wells Football Club.[2] Two days later they played their first game against Lower Light and they won kicking 1.11.17 to 2.3.15.

History of the Two Wells FC dates back to the first decade of the twentieth century and there are records showing that the team competed in the Adelaide Plains Football Association before the 1928 transfer to the Lower North Football Association. After premiership wins in 1928, 1929 and 1930 the Roosters became a powerhouse in the Lower North competition before it dissolved and Two Wells went back to the Adelaide Plains FA. From there the Roosters then joined the Gawler & District Football Association, this move occurring in the early 1950s. Two Wells merged with Virginia in 1959 to form the Two Wells Virginia FC, however this wasn't to last long, with both clubs demerging before the 1975 season.

Two Wells went back to the Gawler & District Football Association for the 1975 season and beat South Gawler in the Grand Final and won two more consecutive premierships in 1976 and 1977 over Willaston and Gawler Central. The Gawler Central Tigers opposed Two Wells in the 1981 final but the Roosters came out victorious again by 2 points 15.12.102 to 14.16.100.

The Two Wells Roosters joined the APFL in 1987 where they have remained since.[3] They won the Grand Final that same year but would have to wait 25 years until their next premiership, won over Virginia by 20 points. Their most recent premierships of 2017 and 2018 were won over Mallala and Balaklava.[4]
