The Mozzies are committed to the development of Australian Rules Football in the UK.   
 

  Club History

 

 

The club was started 2005 by Scott Emmett and a group of eager Aussie Rules fans who met at a local park when they were having a kick about. The decision was made to form a club and the Mozzies were born.

 

The name came from the de Havilland Mosquito which was flown by No. 613 Sqn (City of Manchester Squadron) during WWII.

 

The club played its first season with the BARFL Regional League in 2006 finishing 3rd overall.

 

The club has grown and developed since his humble beginnings at a park in Manchester and currently plays in the AFL Britain Social League.

 

The club is committed to developing Australian Rules Football in the UK.
