The Noarlunga United Bulldogs are a football (soccer) club from Adelaide, South Australia. Noarlunga play in the FFSA South Australian Premier League. They play at Wilfred Taylor Reserve in Adelaide's southern suburbs.
[edit] History
The club was founded under the name of Wakefield Wanderers in 1963 by John Jones and Norm Hughes. The club changed its name in 1974 to Noarlunga United.
The club originally played at Wakefield Reserve, Acre Avenue, Pimpala. The pitch was virtually on the top of a cliff. It had a very big slope down hill from south to north and the winds which used to rip down and across the pitch were horific.
The club moved to the Wilfred Taylor Reserve which is a far cry from the early years. The club has spacious clubrooms and under cover facilities for supporters.
