St Patrick's Old Collegians Football Club Inc. Est. 1931 (known as SPOCFC or St Pat's Football Club) is an Australian rules football club in Prospect Vale, Tasmania, and competes in the Northern Tasmanian Football Association.
The mascot for the "Saints" is "the Champ" a footballer on the run with ball under the arm and the other arm outstretched, dressed in his football gear with a halo above his head.
Prior to the formation of the Northern Tasmanian Football Association the club competed in the Tasmanian Amateur Football League.
The club as the name suggests was originally formed as an offshoot for past school boys to continue playing organised sport.
The club continues to foster a relationship with St Patrick's College, but not all players are recruited from the school.
The club is situated in Prospect Vale on a lower oval of the college's grounds.
The oval has adequate lighting facilities[1] to host night games.
The oval is unique in that it has a very sandy soil and is very difficult for grass to grow at the top end of the oval. The oval has been used as a conceptual model for urban salinity in Launceston, Tasmania.[2]
