Merger History

PHOS Camden was formed in 1994 through the amalgamation of Plympton High Old Scholars Football Club and the remnants of the Camden Football Club.

Plympton High Old Scholars (PHOS)

The Plympton High Old Scholars Football Club was formed in 1971 and based at Myer Oval (later to be known as N. S. Bull Memorial Oval), behind the former Plympton High School. In 1994 the club relocated to Camden Oval as part of a merger with the remnants of the former Camden Football Club to become PHOS Camden.[1]

Camden

The Camden Football Club Mid-Southern Football Association. Camden Football Club began in 1929 in the then Glenelg Districts Football Association when a group of friends, who lived in Camden, decided to form a football club. The club colours were decided as chocolate and blue (the State colours of the time) and the jumper design was alternate chocolate and blue stripes.[9] and continued in the Glenelg District Football Association and remained in that competition throughout its name changes until it folded at the end of 1986, then known as the Southern Metropolitan Football League. In 1987 the club merged with Greek Football Club to form the Greek Camden Football Club.[10] This merger would last until 1993 when the club split back into Greek and Camden, with Camden forming a new merger with the Plympton High Old Scholars Football Club to form the PHOS Camden Football Club.[11]
