Merger history

SMOSH West Lakes was formed in 1996 through the amalgamation of St. Michael's Old Scholars and Hindmarsh Football Club and West Lakes Football Club.

St. Michael’s Old Scholars and Hindmarsh (SMOSH)

The St. Michael's Old Scholars and Hindmarsh Football Club was first formed as church team St. Saviour, representing St. Saviour's Catholic Church at Brompton, which was open from 1868 to 1924. Some records indicate matches were played against other church teams in the 1890s but it is not known if these were part of an organised competition. The first record of participating in an organised competition was when they finished runners-up to St. Francis Xavier's in the St. Vincent de Paul Football Association in 1907. St. Saviour's was renamed Hindmarsh CYM (Catholic Young Men) for four years from 1939 before a slight change of name to Hindmarsh CYMS (Catholic Young Men's Society) in 1943. In 1975, the club formed a partnership with St Michael's College and once again changed names to become St. Michael's Old Scholars and Hindmarsh.
