Timelines
Every great club has a story, and ours is told through two powerful eras. It all began with the Southport Magpies, a local club with big ambitions, carving out a name in Gold Coast footy. But as the game grew, so did we—evolving into the Southport Sharks, a club built for the future, making waves on the state and national stage.
