FROM THE PRESIDENT
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to join the family of Darwin’s Premier and oldest Australian Rules football club, the mighty
Waratah Warriors.
The Waratah Football Club is a progressive, socially responsible and not for profit sporting organisation based at the iconic Gardens Oval in the
heart of Darwin.
Our vision is to maintain our position as Darwin’s premier community football club and key to that vision is long lasting and mutually beneficial
relationships with our corporate partners.
The 2019-20 season was a successful one with eight of our twelve teams playing finals, four making the grand final and two Premiership Cups
being added to the Waratah Football Club collection.
We are confident that our on field success can only continue to grow. This continued growth will be achieved through the role of our new junior
development program, nurturing our local talent. This will be combined with proactive interstate recruitment, focusing on the relocation of talent
to Darwin.
I am incredibly excited for the upcoming season and I strongly believe that the opportunity to promote your organisation with the
Waratah Football Club has never been better.
Following completion of a multi-million dollar lighting project, atmospheric night games will be played at the iconic Gardens Oval, home of the
Waratah Football Club, for the first time in 2020. Our state of the art, air-conditioned and recently renovated 300 person function room will
provide a fitting space to entertain clients while watching a game on Darwin’s finest sporting field.
I look forward to welcoming you into the Waratah Family and helping with the growth of your organisation.

Rohan Langworthy

President

THE WARATAHS
The Waratah Football club was founded in late 1916 by a group of men who just wanted to play football on weekends. They had no idea they
were starting something special; a community club that has celebrated nearly 103 years together.
The Waratah Football Club is the only club in the Northern Territory Football League with a continuous century-long history and the only club
that has played in every year that the league has run.
The club played their first game at the old Darwin Oval, which is now known as the Esplanade. This match introduced the famous red and white
colours that are still worn by all Waratah teams today.
Waratah Football Club have come from humble beginnings with the first clubhouse built at Fannie Bay oval in the 1950’s. In 2001, The Waratah
Sports Club was opened and a new home for the club was made at the iconic Gardens Oval in the heart of Darwin. These facilities continue
to improve with the times, featuring a licensed bar, commercial kitchen, and state of the art technology within.
The club has a strong history of success with 15 Men’s Premier League Premierships, 6 Women’s Premier League Premierships and 18 Men’s
Division 1 Premierships, just to name a few.
Waratah currently has over 500 players across 12 junior and senior teams, 160 members and countless, passionate supporters.
The Waratah Football Club has an established program of providing children and women from the Tiwi Islands the opportunity to participate in
sport in Darwin. In the 2019-20 season the Waratah Football club provided this opportunity for approximately 48 children and 2 women from the
Tiwi Islands. These women and children would have otherwise had no opportunity to participate in sport over that period.

“PRESIDENTS” KEGS-$700
It is club tradition that if all senior teams win on a home game day that the players and supporters are rewarded with a “President’s Keg” in the clubrooms following
presentations of team awards. In return for funding a President’s Keg you will receive appreciation and recognition in the form of:

        Announcement of the keg in your name in clubrooms following the game.
        A joint social media post.
        Being a very popular participant in club celebrations.
