Randwick City Saints Australian Football Club (previously known as Saints AFC) is an Australian rules football club based in Sydney, Australia. The club colours are black, white and red. The Saints play in the Divisions of the AFL Sydney league and previously had an over 35s masters side, the Maroubra Sinners. The Maroubra Saints junior AFL club are a local junior feeder club.
The Senior side has made the finals each year since joining the Sydney AFL comp and were runners up in 2013. The Reserve Grade side won the Division Five premiership in 2013 under captain/coach Peter Conduit.
The Club won its first senior premiership, winning the 2014 Division 3 flag in a dominant display over Penrith.
In round 2 of the 2016 season, saints young gun David 'Sea Gull' King, narrowly missed out of the Sydney AFL rising star award, it is speculated that he would have taken home the nomination however ineligibility due to him playing in the senior team last year culled his chances.
The Saints home ground is Pioneers Park located in the south-eastern Sydney suburb of Malabar.
In December 2012 the name of the club was changed to Randwick City Saints AFC.[1]
In March 2019, the fifth division team sensationally announced ex-AFL player Joshua Ford as the Captain of the Reserves team, while Ford was concurrently serving a club suspension for stealing all of the pies. The club suspension has since been lifted.
In 2023 after a huge influx of new women and men’s players the Saints entered 2 x men's and 2 x women’s teams for the first time. All 4 teams made finals, Men’s ressies fell one game short of the big dance, men’s seniors and both women’s teams made the GF. And what a weekend it was first women’s seniors took the premiership cup in a dominant display, followed straight after by the men’s seniors following suit. The very next day our women’s ressies team made it 3/3 in another dominant display. Best on ground performances by Emma Treanor, Jack Sorensen and SJ over the weekend. A historical season that won’t be forgotten
