Well it seems like ages since our last home game but I am delighted to welcome you all back for our SL1 Round 6 contest with the rampaging Adelaide Croatia Raiders. After a run of defeats our boys will be looking to get back to their winning ways against a very good Raiders team. As always we welcome the travelling Players, Officials and Supporters Since my last report we have seen our Miniroos and Juniors take to the field for Season 2023 and its been fantastic to see the kids and parents so excited to get back in to it. Friday nights just weren't the same without the smiles of happy Pirates families coming together for a meal and drink in the clubrooms. Off the park preparations are well underway for number of events we have planned to celebrate our milestone 120th year. Keep your eyes on our socials and your emails as details will be released soon. Well that's enough from me as I'm sure you are more interested in watching the quality football on display but I can finish without thanking all our Players, Officials, Sponsors, Supporters and Volunteers for helping to make Pirates such a great club. |

Good afternoon to all and welcome to the Ngarrpadla (Taperoo) Reserve. Today we take some excerpts from Colin Alagich’s second book (115 Years of the World Game in Port Adelaide).
On Friday 26th March 1914 a meeting was held in the Globe Hotel, Port Adelaide, between officials of the Port Adelaide and Cheltenham Clubs and an amalgamation was agreed to. Many Cheltenham supporters protested this course of action and a few weeks later they reformed the ‘Chelts’ which over the next few seasons became the dominant force in the competition. The Port Adelaide Club did benefit however, with several members and players rejoining the ‘All Blacks’. The outbreak of the First World War in 1914 almost caused the end of the Port Adelaide Club. Newspaper reports of the time suggest up to 90% of Port Adelaide players enlisted in the Militia. During this period the following club members are known to have enlisted in either the Australian or British forces. This may not be a complete list.

The struggle for a suitable ground continued unabated as shown in the minutes of a Council Meeting as reported in the ‘Port Adelaide News’ of Friday 3/4/1914. ‘Secretary of Port Adelaide British’ Football Club applying for use of a paddock adjoining Cheltenham Cemetery for football purposes. Recommended that the Council cannot see its way clear to grant the request as the paddock is required for grazing purposes’.
At the Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 14/4/1914 held in the Globe Hotel, Port Adelaide, the Secretary Arthur Young, announced that the Port Oval (Alberton) had been secured for six principle matches. Twenty four new members had joined the club and everything pointed to a most prosperous season.
‘The Port Adelaide News’ of Friday 22/5/1914 reported that: ‘The Association have granted the Port Club permission to arrange for a visit to Victoria’. No record has been found as to whether the trip ever eventuated.
‘The Port Adelaide News’ of Friday 22/5/1914 also reported that both the A and B teams were to catch the train from the Port Station at 2.00 pm. The A would then travel to Wayville to play South Adelaide while the B team would continue on to the Lord Melbourne Hotel where they would change for their game against North Adelaide.
‘The Mail’ soccer writer ‘Penalty’ on Thursday 3/9/1914 observed of the Port Adelaide Club: ‘They have had many changes in the team due to the migratory habits of their players and to the uncertainty of employment in the district’.
In 1915 there is a reference in the Football Association Minutes to Port Adelaide operating only as a ‘Junior’ club, but this cannot be confirmed. Between 1916 and 1918 there was no organised competition in Adelaide.
In 1919 Port Adelaide Representatives attended the first few meetings of the Association but club member Tommy Thompson eventually advised that the club was still unable to form a team.
On Friday March 26th Tommy placed an article in the ‘Port Adelaide News’ calling for people interested in reforming the club to meet at the Black Diamond Corner in Port Adelaide. This led to the club reforming with many of the pre-war players rejoining.
