Our HistoryThe Onkaparinga Valley Football Club was formed from the
amalgamation of the Hills Football League in 1967. The Onkaparinga
Football Club joined with the Woodside Army to form the present
Onkaparinga Valley Football Club and made their home at Balhannah
oval. Woodside oval has remained a training ground for many junior teams.
The red, white and blue tri-colours of Woodside were the chosen
colours with the Bulldog becoming the adopted symbol of the
Club. In 1977 the Club became the only Club in the Hills Football League
to own their headquarters. The change rooms and lounge area were built by
a very hard working team lead by President David Paschke and his
Committee, the now disbanded “Bulldogs Club” and a building committee of
local builders that love football and the OVFC in 1978. Our loyal
people have continued to develop our facilities to make them the envy of the
competition.
In 1978 the combined Club won their first Premiership by defeating Heathfield Aldgate (and ending their hope of leaving the HFL as having won the last 10 premiership in a row.) Professionalism, Respect, Unity, Honesty and Accountability are just a few of the key words that describe our family friendly Football Club. Our club culture reinforces the importance of family, growth, participation and enjoyment. While instilling a winning culture, our Club recognises that being competitive is essential yet playing within the spirit of the game is expected. Our people is what makes our Club so great and we strive to support our community and members at all times. Our Premierships
