Club History

Who We Are

Our longevity is thanks to founding church members, committees, volunteers and players who steered us through good and tough times. For ninety-five years we’ve championed values only team sport delivers — belonging, resilience and mateship — reflecting the vision and values of the Bayside community.

The club emblem features two purple and gold crossed hammers, highlighting our motto “STRENGTH THROUGH LOYALTY.” On game day our catch cry is “HAMMER TIME!”
