CHRISTIAN BROTHERS COLLEGE OLD COLLEGIANSCurrent Affiliation: South Australian Amateur Football League (SAAFL) since 1978 Home Ground: Bartels Road Oval Formed: 1978 Club Address: P.O. Box 1827, Adelaide, South Australia 5001 Website: www.cbcoc.com.au Colours: Purple and white Emblem: Dolphins Senior SAAFL Premierships: Division Five - 1990, 2004 (2 total) Christian Brothers College fielded a club in the South Australian Amateur Football League between the 1930s and early 1970s. This club, known as Christian Brothers Old Collegians (usually abbreviated as CBOC), claimed an A3 pennant in 1947. In 1974 it changed its name to Rostrevor Old Collegians, reflecting the fact that most of its players were now former Rostrevor students. Rostrevor Old Collegians continues to compete in the SAAFL to this day. In 1978 a new Christian Brothers College Old Collegians club was established and has competed continuously in the SAAFL ever since. It won its first senior flag in 1990 in A5 Grade under the coaching of former West Torrens player Aldo Floreani. It has since added a second premiership in what was effectively the same grade albeit that it had altered its name to division five. This triumph came in 2004 under the coaching of Rocky Butterworth, and with it went promotion to division four where the Dolphins have remained since. In 2009 the seniors, coached by former North Adelaide, Hawthorn and Adelaide great, reached the division 4 grand final in 2099 but lost by 10 points to Prince Alfred Old Collegians for whom Jarman's former Crows team mate Mark Ricciuto booted 6 goals.
