History
[edit]At a meeting held in the Beaumaris RSL in August 1962, the Beaumaris Football Club was established to represent the local area, which at the time was largely undeveloped.[1] The club entered the South East Suburban Football League (SESFL) in 1963.[2] By the 1980s, Beaumaris was established as a strong club in Division 1, but the club was also affected by financial issues.[1]
In 1995, Beaumaris joined the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) in E Section South, winning a premiership in its first VAFA season.[3] Another premiership came in D Section in 1997 and in C Section in 2003.[4][5]
Beaumaris won a fourth senior premiership in Premier C (C Section) in 2010, and after finishing as runners-up in the 2012 Premier B grand final, they were promoted to Premier Division (A Section) for the first time.[6] However, senior coach Jason Mifsud left the club during the 2013 season.[7]
