South Armidale United Football Club is a football club based in Armidale, Australia.

Contents

It has a long running rivalry with East Armidale and Norths Utd, the former due to the circumstances surrounding its formation and that latter due to some on-field incidents in the mid-1990s. The club's song is "Yellow" by Coldplay, and its victory song is a reworded version of the Beatles classic, "Yellow Submarine".

History

The club was founded in 1994 by a group of disaffected members of the East Armidale Football Club. [1]

The club is supported by The Royal Hotel Armidale and New England Toyota and continues to enjoy strong community support from local businesses.

In the first year of its inception it reached the Grand Final of the Armidale & District Football Association (ADFA). Since that time the club has secured minor premierships in the regional competition, the Northern Inland Premier League, and won the Reserve Grade major premiership on two occasions. It won its way through to the Grand Final of the Northern Inland Premier League in 2014, ultimately losing to Oxley Vale Attunga FC (Tamworth) in the final. [2]

The Club won the Northern Inland Football Cup on 4 May 2015, defeating Tamworth side, North Companions FC following a penalty shootout. [3]

South Armidale Utd FC featured in the Northern NSW Football playoffs in the 2015 FFA Cup, after defeating the Football Mid North Coast Cup Champions, Forster Tuncurry Tigers FC, 2–1 in Tuncurry. [4]

Broadmeadow Magic FC defeated South Armidale 7–1 at the Lake Macquarie Football Facility on 20 June 2015, ending the Scorpions' FFA Cup run. The Scorpions trailed 3–1 at half-time with Cody Watts scoring for the Yellow and Green from the penalty spot. [5]
