The Carey Park Football Club began its existence in 1914 as the Young Men’s Social Club, with football & rowing as its main recreations. Soon the name was changed to the Young Men’s Pastimes Club.
The first football team formed by the Pastimes Club was a junior team. In 1920 the Club won its first Premiership and then in 1921 our name was changed to the Pastimes Football Club. Success came early, for in 1923, they were undefeated to become Premiers and Champions. They won again in 1924 and 1925 and were runners up in 1926. Further Premierships followed in 1932 and 1938. Still functioning as Pastimes, the Club won the Sunday Times Trophy for winning 3 consecutive Premierships in 1946, 1947 and 1948.
In 1956 it was decided that the Club should center its activities on the growing suburb of Carey Park. In 1959, the name was changed to Carey Park Football Club and known as the Panthers.
We are now The Carey Park Football Sporting and Community Club incorporating Junior, Senior and Masters teams.
