Rostrevor Old Collegian Football Club
Rostrevor Old Collegians' Football Club Est. 1974

Rostrevor College was founded in 1923, and old scholars originally played for Christian Brothers Old Collegians. By 1974, however, old collegians from Rostrevor had become the dominant force in the club.

The Rostrevor Old Collegians Football Club was established at a special meeting of the Christian Brothers Old Collegians' Football Club. The meeting was held at Rostrevor College on 23 February 1974 following a petition to call a special meeting to change the name of the club. The motion to change the name was passed and the new Rostrevor Old Collegians' Football Club was formed.

At the opening meeting the treasurer reported a balance of $122 in the general account and $47 in the social account. In this inaugural year, the Club competed in A4 and A4 reserves with the latter winning the premiership. In 1979 a third side was introduced with a fourth team in 1981.

It took 13 years for the club to reach A1. Michael Murphy captain-coached the club in its first season, and Tom Kendell/John McAuliffe were the first Presidents.

To date a total of 22 premierships have been won. The A grade have won 6 flags, whilst the B's have won 9 and the C's 7.

The club has produced 19 league medallists, including the 2017 Div 1 winner, Will O'Malley, and dual D1 medallist, Craig Holm in 2013/2014. 

The most recent winner was Tim Baccanello in 2019.

Simon Emanuele is the Games record-holder with 374 matches, followed by Paul Norris on 303, Brian Carey 300, Drew Litster 287, and Matthew Haddad 272. 

At the end of the 2021 season 1,451 players had represented the Rostrevor Old Collegians Football Club.

Marcus Trimboli captained/co-captained the A's for an amazing 10 years, between 1998-2007.

Drew Litster began playing in 1999 and was the A's leading goal kicker in each of his 15 seasons. He kicked 1241 goals for the club.

Tom Wigley in his first season as coach, led the club to its first A1 Premiership in 2013.

The club was again successful in taking out the A1 Premiership in 2017. In 2018 ROCS won the pre-season "Australian Champions League."

From 2004, ROCS have been in Div 1 of the Adelaide Footy League in 17 of the 19 seasons, and have played in 5 Div 1 Grand Finals since 2014.
