Since 1963 the Beaumaris FC has been a tried and true, family-run football club starting out predominantly in the juniors. Since 1995 they have been part of the VAFA and joined a long line of VAFA clubs to win a premiership in their debut season.
Join club historian Ron Nicholson as he takes us back through the years and Andy Sheldrake who was the first player to run out in a Sharks jumper on April 20, 1963.
