Wikipedia - The Cove FC
The Cove Football Club, commonly known as The Cove FC, is a soccer club based in Adelaide, South Australia. The club competes in Football South Australia’s (FSA) State League 1. Established in 1983, The Cove FC is based at the Southern Soccer Facility on the corner of Majors and Adams Road in Trott Park.
History
The Cove Football Club was originally established as the Hallett Cove Soccer Club in 1982, initially based at Sheidow Park Primary School. In 1983, the club was renamed The Cove FC and relocated to the Hallett Cove Recreation Ground (Now the Cove Sport and Community Club). For the next 25 years, the club competed in the South Australian Amateur Soccer League (SAASL), winning 18 trophies across various divisions.
The Cove FC enjoyed early success in the SAASL, securing three consecutive championships from Sunday Division 7 to Division 5 between 1983 and 1985, including an unbeaten season in 1985. The club continued to rise, eventually claiming the Sunday Division 1 title in 1991, and remained a fixture in the top Sunday divisions throughout the 1990s. In 2001, the club transitioned to the Saturday competition, winning the Saturday Division 2 title in their first season. They remained competitive in Saturday Division 1 until relegation in 2007.
In 2008, the club expanded by introducing junior teams, and in 2009 it transitioned away from the amateur league in order to join the Football South Australia competitions. This move brought new challenges due to the higher level of competition, for both talent and league points.
After several seasons in the State League 1, The Cove FC reached a high point with a third-place finish in 2012. Despite relegation to State League 2 in 2018, the club entered a rebuilding phase and ultimately triumphed in 2024, winning the grand final and securing promotion back to State League 1.
For the 2025 season, the club had its best run to date in the Australian Cup after being knocked out in the 5th round of the SA Preliminary Rounds. After a sluggish start to the league, Cove would consolidate and claim 7th spot, falling agonisingly short of a finals berth on the last day by goal difference.
