History
An earlier association football club at Eltham was formed in a meeting at the Eltham Fire Brigade station in April 1906, with 20 members registered and Mr. W. H. Hutchinson appointed secretary.[7] Eltham along with Kaponga and Hāwera were affiliated to the Taranaki Association Football Union in May 1906.[8] The club won its first and only Taranaki Championship in 1906,[9] beating New Plymouth in the final held at Inglewood.[10]
The Taumata Park grandstand overlooking the club's home ground is Eltham’s Second World War memorial. It was opened on 10 August 1957.[11]
