Clarence United FC was formed in 1978 under the name “Phoenix Rovers Soccer Club” after a noticeable lack of Football clubs on the Eastern Shore. After seasons of varied success, the club was renamed Clarence United FC in 1998 and secured its position in the men’s Statewide League in 1999. In the 2000’s the club grew in numbers and successes in the men’s and women’s competitions. Recent results for the club in the NPL and Super League have not been successful, but a strong youth presence and successes was a notable achievement.
