Northern Falcons Soccer Club Description: The Northern Falcons Soccer Club was formed in October of 1986 as the sporting arm of the Floridia Social Club. Originally known as the Flemington Floridia Soccer Club, the club made it’s first home at the foot of the Commission houses on Flemington Road in Flemington. These were humble beginnings as players trained under the security lights attached the buildings surrounding the ground. There were no showers or change rooms on training nights and players were forced to change in their cars but this did nothing to dampen the enthusiasm of the people who were entrusted with running the club. The most important of these was Joe Valentino. It was Joe Valentino, who as a member of the Floridia Social Club, decided the club needed an injection of new young faces or risk dying a slow death. And what better way to do this than through sport. So in late 1986, with this in mind, he set about starting a soccer team to attract the males and a netball for the females. The Falcons first training session attracted 3 players. Within three weeks, Joe Valentino had gathered together fifteen players, the vast majority whose parents were Floridian. He had achieved his first goal.
