St. Peter's OC Reserves

Saint Peter’s Old Collegians boasts the distinction of being the first old scholars team to have won a premiership in the South Australian Amateur Football League’s top division. It did this in 1935, downing Underdale United in the grand final by 13 points, 13.8 (86) to 10.13 (73). It has spent more time in division one/A1 than any other old scholars club and can also lay claim to having won more division two or A2 grade flags - seven - than any other club. In 2011 and 2012 it won back to back flags, beating Rostrevor Old Collegians in the Division Two grand final in the former year, and Henley in the latter year's Division One play-off. After finishing fifth in Division One in 2013 SPOC tumbled to the bottom of the list the following year and so were relegated back to Division Two. Their second season at this level saw them achieve promotion back to Division One after a losing grand final clash with Modbury.
