About
The original Kilsyth Football Club was formed in 1910 & affiliated with the Box Hill District League. In 1913 a combined team was formed with Montrose & vacant land owned by The Salvation Army at the corner of Liverpool rd & Pigs Lane was used as their home ground. The team wore a bright green jumper with a white sash.
Due to so many men being enlisted for war service during the 1914-18 World War most football clubs & competitions were disbanded. In 1922 a combined team was fielded with Bayswater.
Kilsyth Football Club became a separate entity & fielded a team of its own in the 1924 season. In this same year, the club raised sufficient funds from a public appeal to purchase a former orchard property on Colchester rd for its home ground. Funds were very scarce in these early days & any players possessing a jumper of any popular colour or design were virtually guaranteed a place in the team.
The year 1925 saw the club adopt the red, white & blue jumper of the traditional Footscray design as the official club playing uniform & the team became known as the “Sythers”.
