Ten years after the formation of the Sutherland Junior Association, a band of enthusiastic parents connected with Sutherland North Primary School decided it was time to form a Junior Soccer Club in the area and enter it in the weekend Competition.

With very little finance at first but with an abundance of dedication, teams took the field in shirts made by the ladies and any type of footwear that was suitable, with Jack Mawson (its first President), running a kiosk from the back of a station wagon.

Since those days, the Club has continued to find people of true dedication. People such as Gwen Gould, Maurie Keane, Jan Gibson, Brian Henderson, Geoff Saggers, Frank Blinman to name but a few.

Facilities have now been vastly improved with a kiosk and modern lighting on its home ground at Sutherland No. 2.

Although "The Rockets" were and possibly will continue to be one of the smaller clubs in the Association, there is no doubt that the enthusiasm and dedication of their founders will continue to thrive amongst its ranks, now and in the years to come.
