Senior Grade Premierships: D Grade - 2010 (1 total)

The Tigers were formed in 2000 when Victoria Park-South Perth merged with Canning. Both clubs had, prior to that, competed in the Sunday Football League (SuFL), with South Perth having joined forces with Victoria Park Junior Football Club in 1997.

Canning Football Club was originally established in 1922, and participated in a number of competitions prior to the formation of the SuFL in 1984, when it was one of sixteen founder members. The club’s 1994 SuFL premiership was its nineteenth all told at senior level.

South Perth also enjoyed a long and intermittently illustrious history. Formed in 1931, it was a member of the Western Australian Amateur Football League between then and 1966, winning senior premierships in 1947, 1952 and 1953. The 1967 season saw the club commence a four year association with the South Suburban Murray Football League before crossing to the WAFA where it contested five senior grand finals in thirteen years for one flag. Like Canning, South Perth was a founder member of the SuFL, but the closest it got to winning a premiership was third place in 1986.

The Tigers’ seniors did not perform with any real distinction during their time in the SuFL which came to an end after the 2008 season, when rationalisation of the state’s metropolitan grass roots football led to the competition disappearing. (The reserves, by contrast, did the club proud, claiming a premiership in 2006.) In 2009 Canning-South Perth-Victoria Park began competing in the Western Australian Amateur Football League, and the following year broke through for an inaugural premiership, downing Carlisle by 83 points in the D grade grand final.
