History
A Plympton Football Club played in the Mid-Southern Football Association as early as 1921, but the current club is recognised as forming in 1937.[ 2]
Plympton remained in the Glenelg District Football Association , and its later incarnations until it folded at the end of the 1986 season, at that point known as the Southern Metropolitan Football League . In 1987 Plympton joined the Southern Football League Division 1 competition and proceeded to win three premierships in succession before shifting to the South Australian Football Association for the 1990 season. When the South Australian Football Association folded at the end of the 1995 season, they transferred to the South Australian Amateur Football League where they have competed since.
Plympton also fields junior teams in the Metro South Junior Football League .[ 3]
Plympton FC has produced a number of Australian Football League (AFL) players including Bryce Gibbs (Carlton ), Cameron Hitchcock (Port Adelaide ), Christian Howard (Western Bulldogs ) and Patrick McCarthy (Carlton ).[ 1] [ 4]
