Born out of the desire to continue the connection with the college, the St Paul's Old Scholars Football Club was founded in 1993 through the joint efforts of several old collegians under the watchful eye of Damien Antenucci. At the time, Damien was a teacher at St Paul's College and to this day he is still keeping the kids in line.
Inducted as a life member in 2002, Damien has been a key member in the survival of the club and is credited as the longest standing coach along with holding the positions of treasurer and secretary. In 2007, after a strong relationship with Trinity Old Scholars, the inaugural Antenucci – Bednall Cup was created.
In the clubs first season in A7 under Damien, both the first and reserve teams finished runners up. After six seasons, 1999 saw the clubs first premiership come in A5 with Eugene Taheny at the helm. In the same year, one of the clubs greats Todd Smitham, was also named as the clubs first SAAFL Representative.
After some tough times and an exodus of players, the club resigned itself to fielding only one team in 2002 in D10 South. After adjusting to the change of only one team, the club bounced back winning the premiership in 2003 with Myles Cooper winning the association medal.
The following year saw the club restructure into two teams and enter into D7. Whilst still rebuilding, the club has shown promise over the last few years with finals births, but we continue to chase that elusive third premiership to promote the club up the ranks.
