Broome Saints Football Club was established in 1960. We pride ourselves on being the number ONE family club in Broome.
With a number of premiership wins, what was once just a Men’s Football Team, has now expanded to include many Junior Saints, a Women’s team and a freshly established Netball club.
History
Father Kevin McKelson, 6 years after becoming Parish Priest of Broome, approached young Don McKenzie who was playing for Towns at the time and discussed the idea of forming a team of local boys based on the model of St. Mary’s Football Club in Darwin whose colours were gold and green.
From 1960 until 1978 the Broome football team was known as St Mary’s and the Premiership team of 1979 wore St Mary’s jumpers with the insignia SMFC.
