History

The West Torrens club was founded in 1923, and the Birkalla Rovers was founded by J Taylor in 1933. In 1979 the two clubs merged to form West Torrens Birkalla (nicknamed Birks), the name they played under until the end of the 2001 season. In 2002 the club's name was changed to Adelaide Galaxy.

Birkalla has produced 4 Australian internationals and 19 State representatives.

At the beginning of the 2006 season, Galaxy reverted back to its original team colours, yellow and black.

Galaxy was one of the sides in the first season of the FFSA Super League.
