who we are
On Sunday, April 26th 1970, Roopena still without a clubroom, entered the Whyalla Football League Senior competition, fielding its’ first ever A & B Grade teams.
In June 1971 the first stage of the Roopena clubrooms were built on the site that
the Club occupies today.
From 1971 to present today, the Clubrooms have undergone multiple extensions and changes to be the outstanding facility it is today.
The Club converted the then Member’s Bar into a Gaming room and commenced its’ Gaming operations on January 27th, 1995.
In the Club’s 50 years, the original Roopena Football Club, has become the Roopena Football & Sporting Club with the introduction of the sports of Cricket, Netball, Basketball, Darts and 8 Ball.
Our Kitchen staff prepare and sell counter meals at multiple times throughout the week, our Bar staff sell a range of beverages 7 days of the week, and the Clubrooms are used to facilitate meetings, social functions and multiple community uses, all under the supervision of our Club Manager.
The Roopena Football & Sporting Club promotes sport at all levels to the highest achievable standard while maintaining a Family friendly and welcoming club environment.
Our facilities accommodate the differing needs of our members and foster a sense of pride and belonging.
Our aim is to remain the most professional, popular and successful sporting club in Regional South Australia. We constantly work to improve the benefits provided to our growing membership.
FROM OUR FACEBOOK FEED
With deep sadness, the RFC wants to inform people of Gary (Gar) Burton's sudden passing.
Gary came to our club in 1986. He played a pivotal part in securing the club's first-ever premiership in 1986 and also played in the 1987 Grand final. Gary played a total of 38 senior games and coached the reserves for two years. He brought a more professional approach to our struggling club back in this era.
However, it was on the field he did his best work, a wonderful overhead mark who read the play superbly. His performance in the 1986 Grand Final can never be overstated rebounding the ball time and time again in the final quarter when Centrals were threatening.
His son Ty would also play in the 1992 premiership making Gary and Ty only a handful of father-and-son combinations to achieve premiership glory for our club.
Seen as a straight shooter with a quirky sense of humour his love of football was only superseded by his love of family.
Our love and support at this very sad time go to his wife Karen, sons Ty and Brett sister Tanya brother Ken, and their families
RIP Gar ... See MoreSee Less

ASTRO’S LONG LUNCH FUNDRAISER
Last weekend, a wonderful event was held at our club for a truly worthy cause.
Our heartfelt thanks to the team from Head Catering, led by Kate & Nathan Head together with Greg & Alice Fiebig, Clare Clothier and Anna Sutton, for their incredible efforts in hosting a memorable Long Lunch to support Astro, a dear friend and long-time club member.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all attendees and volunteers, generous donors of raffle items, cash, and time, local businesses and individuals who contributed auction items and bidders who helped make the auction a success!
Today, the long lunch committee is thrilled to announce that your enormous generosity has raised an incredible $30,000. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible. Your support and kindness will make a significant difference in Astro's life.
