WTFC - the history 

There is a lot of history to Woolston Technical FC.

The club published a 75th anniversary book in 1998: 'Green and Gold, Technical AFC, The First 75 Years'. We intend to make some or part of this available online (and to continue the story since then). Return to this page for updates.

Here is just  a snippet from the section discussing the founding of the club:

The Christchurch Technical College Old Boys' Association Football Club was founded on February 10th, 1923. It was a natural development to serve the former pupils, for football had flourished at the school for several years: the 1914 Technical College Review recorded that that year had seen "the birth of the Association (football) among our sport activities. About four teams were formed and two entered for the schools competitions." The 1918 Review reported that the sports fields at Ensor's Rd (an apostrophe was used in those times) had been developed thus, "The orchard site has been levelled with the lower part of the new block, and the two together will form a fine hockey or Association ground."

In that first 1923 season Technical entered two teams. The third grade team won its division and the fourth grade A team was second.
