Central District Football Club

The Bulldogs proudly represent Adelaide’s northern community including Salisbury, Elizabeth, Gawler and the Barossa Valley – 250,000+ residents. Central’s home base, at X Convenience Oval, is a stones throw from the industrial heartland surrounding the former Holden manufacturing plant (Central’s major sponsor since 1989) and the Edinburgh Defence precinct.

Centrals (as it commonly referred to) was formed in 1959 at the same time the satellite town of Elizabeth was being established. It competed for five years in the SANFL Reserves before it was promoted to League competition in 1964. It’s colours are red, white and blue and its moniker is the Bulldogs. Its motto “Cede Nullis” means “Yield to None”.
