Sandy Bay Soccer Club was a Football (Soccer) Club which represented Sandy Bay in the Tasmanian Southern Premier League from 1922 until it's demise in 1953. In their 31 year history Sandy Bay established itself as a powerhouse club of Tasmanian football, winning a remarkable seven state championships, and seven southern premierships which still sees them placed fourth on the winners lists of both competitions despite folding over 50 years ago.
Their great rivalry with neighbours South Hobart was a feature of pre-World War II Tasmanian football competitions, and their demise was regretted by all associated with the great club.
