HISTORY OF PEAKHURST UNITED F.C
Peakhurst United FC is a proud community club based in the St George Football district. The club’s home ground, Peakhurst Park, has been UNITED’s home since its inception in 1965.
Founded on the 29th of May 1964, Mr. Ken Hough, Hoody Bourke and Russ Edwards made the decision to break away from the St George Police boys club with the objective of forming an inclusive and united club.
After 50 years since inception, it is clear that their early aims have turned out as they would have wanted and hope that the “Peakhurst Club” built on such solid foundations, continues “UNITED”.
The clubs first general meeting was attended by Bourke, Evans, Hough, Edwards, Mayoh, Mayer, McConnachie, Pike, Prestney, Seymour, Valentine and Thomas. A professional executive was formed that night, consisting of Messrs, Jock Mayer (President), Arthur Mayoh (Secretary) and Ken Hough (Treasurer).
In its first enrollment the results far exceeded expectations and six more sets of shirts had to be made and sixteen teams wore the Peakhurst colours in its first playing season in 1965.
