The Southern Redbacks Australian Football Club was established in 2000 to offer youngsters in the Jimboomba and Beaudesert region the opportunity to participate in AFL. Although founded as a junior club competing in competition for under 8’s through to under 12 age groups, the steady growth over the past years has allowed us to introduce higher age groups as the playing numbers demand. This has seen the successful introduction of under 14 and under 16 teams over the past couple of seasons.
We now look to continue that growth with the introduction of an under 18 team for season 2008 and beyond.
In 2002 a separate club was formed in partnership with the Southern Redbacks called the Jimboomba Old Boys. The main the intention of this organisation was competing in an over 30’s age group. After 2 seasons this club became the Jimboomba Redbacks and now plays in the AFL Queensland seniors’ competition.
At the conclusion of the 2007 season motions were put in place to amalgamate the Southern Redbacks and the Jimboomba Redbacks and we are now operating as one club – the Southern Redbacks Australian Football Club Inc.
This allows the club to offer football to all age groups and with sufficient interest we will introduce female teams and masters teams as the years progress.In 2008 the club will move its home base to a new venue at Glenlogan park where in conjunction with the Jimboomba Bushrangers Cricket association we are developing 2 full size playing fields and supporting structures. With this venture we are grateful to the Beaudesert Shire council, Sport and Recreation Qld and AFL Qld for their support and financial assistance with developing such a large project.
The Southern Redbacks hold their general meetings on the second Wednesday of each month at 6.30 pm at Teirney Lodge Jimboomba Park
