West Torrens Football Club History In the 93year history of the West Torrens Club, many ups and downs were experienced, but with only 4 Premiership titles to display, the loyal encourage of the Club’s throng of admirers were surely tested over the years. The colors of the Club at that time were Red. In 1887 the Club joined with West Adelaide and with the addition of blue to its colors played under the name of West Adelaide, but the team dissolved after only one season. The West Torrens Club, as the fans knew it, had its beginnings from a group of players obvious as the Port Natives. The victory was cut concise when the Adelaide and Suburban competition went into a recess. G Rimes was the Captain of the team and they finished in fourth position out of five teams. Ironically the team finishing final in that year was Port Adelaide. For the first scanty years the Club was an itinerant side, playing at other sides home grounds and contesting a unbiased number of their matches at the Jubilee Oval just near the Adelaide Zoo. This ground was shared with many of the locally based sporting codes but because of its weird shape and lack of available expansion space it was constantly criticized as an Oval not up to the standard for League Football. As well as that controversy, the team’s on field performance in its beginning two games, when it failed even to score and could not field a packed complement of the allowed 20 men, was hardly a optimistic beginning. In newspaper reports on the games the first captain appears to be Fanning but later in the season he was replaced by J Collins.
