TLFC History (1990-2007)

The concept of Taylors Lakes Football Club came to fruition in 1989 with discussions taking place between members of the Taylors Lakes Recreational Club and other local identities. In 1990 the club fielded and under 10 and 12 team in what was then the OPJSFL, soon to amalgamate with the EDFL.
The teams, with great assistance from first major sponsors, John and Sandra Zylstra, played their first games at Pascoe Vale under the watchful eyes of many. During the same year the league heard a submission from the club to field an under 14 team in 1991. The club grew exponentially, and by 1993 it was fielding in every age group, including the B Division seniors.
Since that time the club has continued to grow, and until 2004 fielded second teams in each age group from under 10s to under 14s. 2005 saw the entry of a second under 16 team, with club stalwart Rita Monaco playing a big role in its inception.
Over the years Taylors Lakes has won many junior premierships, but despite playing in a number of senior finals series, it has yet to claim a senior flag.
