Newborough-Yallourn United Soccer Club

 


Newborough-Yallourn United SC is a soccer club based in Newborough, Victoria, Australia. The club was founded in 1923 as Yallourn Soccer Club before relocating in 1980 and subsequently merging with Newborough Soccer Club (themselves formed in 1955) in 1995. The club currently competes in Latrobe Valley Soccer League and is regularly referred to as NYU or The Combine.[1]

The club's biggest claim to fame is that it was the first non-metropolitan club to be crowned Victorian league champions, winning the 1951 Victorian Division 1 title - the equivalent of NPL Victoria today - just four years after joining the competition. Yallourn SC spent a total of 55 years playing in Victoria's metropolitan leagues (from 1995 as Newborough-Yallourn United) before moving to the LVSL permanently in 2005.[2]

The Combine are among the most successful clubs in the history of the Latrobe Valley Soccer League, winning a combined nine men's league championships and seven Battle of Britain Cup titles.
