Host Club:  Rochedale Rovers Football Club

The host club for the BDS Logan City Cup is Rochedale Rovers Football Club.

In November 1972 when local resident Tommy Vance decided to advertise in the local paper to see if anyone was interested in forming a soccer club, he could never have imagined what that simple decision would mean, and how many people’s lives would be altered by it.

From the start, local business identities came forward to help, including the late Graham Hogg of Graham Hogg Real Estate, Brian Fitzgibbon of the Glen Hotel and John Beerling from Galeprufe Garages. Within a few years of starting, the club had leased land at Underwood Park, developed three fields (fenced and floodlit), built a canteen, office and showers. Many hours of volunteer work has been put in by many different people and it is without doubt the reason why Rochedale Rovers has become the club it is today.

Since those early days, many thousands of local families have enjoyed the atmosphere and the facilities, and in turn have made them bigger and better, so that today, the idea of a few locals has become a thriving industry.

Rochedale Rovers have endeavored to set the standards in Queensland soccer. We have left no stone unturned in our ambition to become one of Queensland's best clubs. The club now boasts four Premierships, captured in 1999, 2007, 2008 and 2010 as well as many Grand Final and Cup Final appearances.

The club also takes pride in the fact that many former players (both Senior & Junior) are now playing professionally both in Australia and Overseas.
