The TC Football League (TCFL) is a semi-professional football league based in Australia, known for its competitive play and community engagement. Founded in 2024, the TCFL consists of four teams: Sigma City Saints, TC Trappers, Diddy Galaxy, and Crashout FC. The league is dedicated to fostering football talent and providing a platform for players to excel.
History
editThe origins of the TC Football League can be traced back to an ordinary afternoon when Phillip McCormack and Ezaius Medland found themselves at the local court with a football. What began as a casual kickabout among friends quickly escalated into a spirited game of football, with everyone present enjoying the friendly competition. The enthusiasm and camaraderie generated during the match sparked an idea among the participants.
After the game, as the group returned to their Skills for Work class, they began discussing the possibility of organizing regular matches. The excitement from the game lingered, and the thought of making it a more frequent event gained traction. Charlesworth, one of the more vocal members of the group, proposed the idea of forming a league to formalize their matches.
The concept of a league was met with enthusiasm, and the conversation soon turned to what it should be called. After a brief period of brainstorming, Jhett Charlesworth suggested the name "TC Football League," which was quickly adopted by the group. The name captured the spirit of their new venture and set the foundation for what would become a regular fixture in their lives.
Thus, the TC Football League was established, evolving from a simple afternoon game into an organized league that brought together a group of friends through their shared love of football. The league initially featured two original teams: SSK FC and SSK United. These teams faced off in a series of matches that helped build the league’s reputation and foster a sense of community and rivalry among the players.
The culmination of this early period in the league’s history came with the OSU vs. SSK All-Star game, a highly anticipated match that showcased the league’s top talent. The SSK team, composed of standout players, secured a 4-2 victory in a thrilling encounter. The lineup for the SSK team included:

This All-Star game not only highlighted the talent within the league but also solidified the SSK team’s reputation, with their victory marking a significant moment in the league’s early history.
Following the All-Star game, the league took an important step towards its future with the introduction of a draft system. The draft was designed to distribute talent more evenly across the teams and to form the competitive structure that would define the league moving forward. The draft featured a pool of players, and the top three picks were highly anticipated.
The first overall pick in the draft was Ashton Carlson, a player known for his exceptional skill and game-changing abilities. He was followed by Jett Wilson, a versatile and highly skilled player who was selected second overall. The third pick was Mikiara Kowhai, one of the standout players from the SSK team, whose talent on the field had already made a significant impact in the league’s early days.
This draft was instrumental in shaping the teams that would come to be known and loved in the TC Football League. It marked the beginning of a new era, where teams were more balanced and the competition became even more intense. The draft not only distributed talent but also set the stage for the rivalries and friendships that would define the league for years to come.
