After winning the A2 Premiership in 1963, Morphettville Park were promoted to the A1 division where they remained until the competition, then known as the Southern Metropolitan Football League, folded at the end of the 1986 season. Morphettville Park transferred to the Southern Football League with the Marion and Plympton clubs in 1987 where they have remained since.
