Forrestfield United is one of the biggest Football (Soccer) Clubs in Perth Western Australia. It is a regional community club situated at Hartfield Park in the foothills of the picturesque Darling Ranges, with nearly 500 players and close to 800 adult members.[1]
History
The club was originally known as Cottesloe SC when it was first admitted into the State League competition in 1962.
Cottesloe SC then merged with the Swan Migrant Association (SMA) in 1971 to become SMA Cottesloe SC. As SMA were based in the Ascot area, the club's name was changed to Ascot Soccer Club the following year.
Ascot were WA Champions in 1974, taking out the State Premier Division title by nine points.
1978 was a pivotal year for the club. They won the last Ampol Cup competition, the trophy for which is still on display in the team's Club House. Merger discussions occurred at the end of the season with then fourth division club, Kalamunda United SC, who were based at Hartfield Park, Forrestfield. The merger went ahead, and the combined team entered the State Competition in 1979 as Forrestfield United SC.
The Senior team competed in the Amateur League from 1993 to 2004.
As of 2016 they play in the WA State League Division 1 competition.
The Club's Motto is: " If for whatever reason our youngsters don't become elite footballers, there is no doubt that they will become healthy and well balanced members of our community taking into consideration the mentoring and education they receive in a safe fun loving environment of Hartfield Park, where Football is first and foremost fun. "
