History

Since 1994, Valentine Eleebana FC and Belmont FC have worked closely together to provide a "pathway" for our Junior Players to the highest possible levels of local football. Our jointly owned senior club was Belmont Tingira Soccer Club which played in the 2nd Division from 1994. At the end of the 2005 season, Belmont FC relinquished their ownership of Belmont Tingira which continued in the NEWFM League as part of VEFC, playing under the name Valentine Belmont FC.

VEFC merged with Phoenix Rangers Football Club from season 2008 taking on their State League Licence and changing our playing name to Valentine Phoenix.

In 2014, Valentine was relegated to the NNSW NEWFM First Division.

Phoenix Rangers

Phoenix in its differing names (Stewart and Lloyds, Tubemakers, Phoenix) was established in 1938 and apart from a hiatus of approx 5 years in the early 80's, was a significant force in the local Football competition throughout this period.
