History



Early History


Wilhelmina D.S.C (Dutch Soccer Club) entered the Fourth Division Reserves competition in 1953, wearing all-orange kits and playing on a paddock in North Balwyn, its home for three years. The club finished second despite having begun halfway through the season.[1] 1954 saw the first official Wilhelmina senior side enter the Fourth Division competition. The side had many players who had played in higher divisions and won the league with ease, earning promotion to Division Three. The following season, Wilhelmina earned promotion again with a perfect season of 18 consecutive wins. Wilhelmina relocated to Burnley Oval in Richmond in 1956. In 1956, the club won the Second Division and earned promotion to the first division. It took the club only four years to get promoted into the Victorian State League, losing only one game of the 54 played.

In 1957, Wilhelmina moved to McDonald Reserve in Hawthorn for its first season in the State League. The season ended with a fifth-place finish. The following season, Wilhelmina won the Dockerty Cup.

In 1966 they were relegated, but the following year they were again promoted as Ringwood City Wilhelmina. After many more years of an up-and-down State League campaign, they were relegated to Victorian State League Division 1 in 1990. This started the club's demise. After years of competition, the club found themselves relegated seven times, and found themselves in the lowest men's Victorian league, Metropolitan League South East.[2][3]
