History

Centenary Stormers Football Club was formed in 2000 and has been registered with Football Brisbane since the beginning of the 2000 season.[1] The club first fielded a team in Football Brisbane competitions in 2007, starting in Metro League Division Five which was then the eighth tier of the FB structure. A second-place finish and Grand Final win the following season resulted in the club being promoted to Metro League Division Three.[2]

Centenary Stormers then achieved a further four promotions between 2011 and 2015, rising four divisions from Metro League 3 Blue to Capital League 1. During this period the club formed a partnership with former national representative Craig Moore and Viva Soccer in late 2012 to run a pilot coaching program to set sporting standards by which a junior player's performance can be measured, managed and accredited, as part of its drive to support all junior players.[3]

Centenary Stormers FC won its first premiership, finishing top of the table in Capital League 3 in 2014.[4]

In 2016, Centenary Stormers was relegated for the first time in their history, appearing safe in Capital League 1 with three rounds to go, but then being overtaken by a late four match winning run by Mount Gravatt.[5] Centenary Stormers bounced back by winning the 2017 Capital League 2 premiership and are expected to compete in the Brisbane Premier League for the first time in 2018 due to a restructure of senior men's competitions by Football Brisbane.[6][7]

gollark: What's textfiles?
gollark: I'm sure I could get a copy if I cared.
gollark: Vaguely. It's meant to be some sort of text on bomb-making and stuff, but has been criticized for actually being pretty inaccurate a lot of the time and apparently maybe having edited wrong-er copies floating around.
gollark: I don't really care very much either way. Also, "know too much"?
gollark: ... you know people can read the filenames right?
