History

Redcliffe City Soccer Club

The Redcliffe Soccer Club initially competed in Brisbane's junior competitions, fielding a team in junior first grade in 1948.[2] The club first competed in Brisbane senior competition in 1952, entering the league in Division 4. In its first 20 years, the club's managed just one season in Division 2 in 1962, winning just two games and being relegated.[3]

The club changed its name to Redcliffe City after the local government area was upgraded in status from a town to a city in 1959.[4] After a decade in the lower divisions, the club played in Division 2 from 1973 to 1978.[5] With the formation of the Queensland State League in 1979, Redcliffe City was promoted to Division 1 but finished 11th and was relegated.[6]

After coming third in Division 2 in 1982, Redcliffe City was promoted to Division 1 for 1983, the division below the newly formed Brisbane Premier League. The following season, the club failed to win a game and was relegated to the third tier of Brisbane soccer in which it competed from 1985 to 1992. After four season in Division 4 (Tier 4), the club returned to the third tier for its final three seasons before merging with Margate after the 1999 season.[5]

Margate Soccer Club

Margate Soccer Club first appeared in senior soccer in the 1977 season, playing a single season in Sunshine Coast Division One.[7] After two season in Brisbane Division 4 in 1985 and 1986, Margate returned to its focus on junior soccer. Returning to senior competition in 1994, the club won the 1997 Division 2 premiership and was promoted to the third tier. In Division 1 (Tier 3) it completed its last two seasons in the same division as Redcliffe City before the two clubs merged in early 2000 to form Peninsula Power.[5]

Peninsula Power FC

Peninsula Power FC was formed in 2000 upon the amalgamation of the Redcliffe City and Margate soccer clubs[1] and initially competed in Division 1, then the third tier of Brisbane soccer. It won its first honours in its first season taking out the Semi-Pro Youth competition. In the 2002 season the club finished top of Division 2 league table, winning the grand final 2–0 over Beenleigh.[8] After grand final losses in 2004 and 2005, promotion to the Brisbane Premier League was won in 2006 with a second-place finish in Premier Division 1.[5]

In 2007, Peninsula Power survived a close relegation battle in their first BPL season after achieving a 0–0 draw against fellow contenders Ipswich Knights on the last day of the season.[9] In 2008 Peninsula Power finished runners-up to Rochedale Rovers in the league and runners-up in the final series after a 3–2 grand final loss to Brisbane City. The following season Peninsula Power went one better, finishing top of the Brisbane Premier League regular season for the first time in 2009.[10] During this period the head coach was Terry Kirkham who saw the club became a mainstay of the BPL during his four season in charge.[11]

From 2008 to 2016, Peninsula Power have qualified for the Brisbane Premier League finals series, never finishing lower than fourth place except for a sixth placing in 2010 when a Final Six finals system operated due to a 14 team league. The crowning achievement of this era was the three consecutive BPLchampionships won in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Each time the club failed to win the regular season premiership, but peaked at the right time. Their grand finals wins were:

  • 2013 Won 5–1 vs Lions FC (Scorers: Power – Ally Graham 4, Joshua Ahern; Lions FC – own goal)[12]

In May 2017, Football Queensland announced Peninsula Power FC were among the 14 clubs accepted to form the Football Queensland Premier League for its initial season in 2018.[20]
