SAASL Saturday Division 1 - 1984
In 1984 the SAASL began a Saturday competition made up mostly of teams orphaned by the South Australian Soccer Federations disbanding of its 3rd Division competition
2009 marks the 25th anniversary of the SAASL Saturday league competition.
From what I can tell the Saturday teams didn't compete in the SAASL Challenge Cup competion in 1984.
If you look in the Veneto team photo, coached by ex SA State player Nilo Rusalen, there is a young Mark Brazzale, an old Mark Brazzale can still be seen playing for Wanderers at the Veneto Club ground....
One of the names that always caught my attention in the first 10 years or more of the Saturday Division was Matthew Vario who usually scored quite a few goals and polled well with the referees.
1984 - The first SAASL Saturday Division 1 Champions Veneto !
Some recognitions that aren't at the beginning of current SAASL Year Books - the first 10 years.
I remember a few of these names, Gary Goddard...I played on the field (under a pseudonym ) for Flinders University's Collegiate league team in 1985 (my girlfriend at the time was playing for Flinders Flashez).
Adey DiBartolo was at Polonia in 1989 when I trained with their reserve side under Joe Larecki.
Also watched a few Saturday games in 1993 particularly CBC v Eastern Suburbs Marche.

Soccer is a quite famous game and pretty popular among public from an early age. I just found your website update quite fantastic and all those are legends in the football world. Please share the essay writer online team’s updates as well because now matches are going to start.

A few years back (2016) Matthew Vario's son was playing in my son's team at SA Panthers and Matthew ended up as Coach when others pulled out.swannsong wrote:In 1984 the SAASL began a Saturday competition made up mostly of teams orphaned by the South Australian Soccer Federations disbanding of its 3rd Division competition
