Bothasig Football Club

Western Cape Football Clubs - Bothasig Football Club - Bothasig, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa

The club was formed in 1972 by a committee led by George Clifton and having founder members: Dick Penfold Mary Mansell Jeff Munslow.
During the 1972-74 seasons the club fielded only junior teams and played under the banner of Municipals who were situated in Rondebosch, as no fields were available in Bothasig In 1973 through the determination and commitment of George Clifton, his committee and Abe Sher (ex-Milnerton Mayor and strong soccer supporter) the club was finally granted playing fields in De Boerin Street in Bothasig.
It was then left to the committee, parents and junior players to clear the area of port Jackson bushes and plant grass. Through the assistance of contacts and businesses the ground was levelled. Grass was obtained from the Rietvlei area in Milnerton by members making use of their own transport over weekends and planted on the field. The surrounding neighbours allowed the club to make use of their water and hose-pipes to water the grass.
