History
The roots of Morley Windmills lay in the informal games of football organised by newly arrived Dutch immigrants, lead by Henk Beumer, in 1950.
These games of football were enjoyed the Dutch community on Sundays and were combined with other social outings, including picnics.
Following a discussion at the Dutch Club in King Street, Perth, it was agreed to form Windmills Soccer Club.
In March, 1950, Windmills applied for entry into the Western Australian Soccer Football Association. The desire was to field one team of Dutch migrants who aspired to play their traditional sport in their new country.
It wasn't until the following year that Windmills received the green light ánd were accepted into the Third Division. Their first official game was in April, 1951, when Windmills defeated CMH 4–3.
In 1973 Windmills amalgamated with Morley Soccer Club to become Morley Windmills Soccer Club Inc[1]. Soon after they moved into their current premises at Wotton Reserve, Embleton.
