History

The West Torrens club was founded in 1923 and Birkalla Rovers was founded by J Taylor in 1933. In 1979 the two clubs merged to form West Torrens Birkalla (nicknamed Birks), the name they played under until the end of the 2001 season. In 2002 the club's name was changed to Adelaide Galaxy.

At the beginning of the 2006 season, Galaxy reverted to its original team colours, yellow and black. They were one of the original sides in the FFSA Super League.

At the beginning for the 2012 season, Galaxy changed their name back to West Torrens Birkalla, and were coached that season by Sergio Melta.

Birkalla has produced four Australian internationals and 19 State representatives.
