BERWICKCurrent Affiliation: Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League (MPNFL) since 1995 Home Ground: Edwin Flack Reserve, Berwick Club Address: P.O. Box 111, Berwick 3806, Victoria Colours: Navy blue and white Emblem: Wickers Senior Grade Premierships: Berwick District Football Association (BDFA) - 1910, 1925 (2 total); South West Gippsland Football League (SWGFL) - 1954, 1977-8 (3 total); MPNFL Nepean Division - 1999 (1 total) According to www.footypedia.com a Berwick Football Club existed as long ago as the 1890s. During the years immediately prior to world war one it competed in the Berwick District Football Association, claiming a premiership in 1910, and finishing second to Dandenong in 1913. The club resumed in the BDFA after the war and secured a second flag in 1925. Following the second world war Berwick spent some time in the Dandenong District Football Association before commencing in the South West Gippsland Football League in 1954. The club would go on to enjoy premiership success on three occasions in this competition, which at the end of the 1994 season was absorbed into the Mornington Peninsula Nepean Football League. Berwick remained a member of the SWGFL throughout this time with the exception of the period between 1983 and 1987 when the club competed, without notable success, in the Victorian Football Association. When the SWGFL became part of the MPNFL Berwick continued in the new competition. The club’s sole senior grade MPNFL flag triumph to date occurred in 1999 in the Nepean Division by means of a 15.9 (99) to 13.10 (88) grand final defeat of Crib Point. Recent seasons have seen the Wickers competing in the Casey Cardinia section of the MPNFL. Performances so far have generally been disappointing. Where now? or
