SRFC has evolved over the years from its’ original parent club Big Nasty FC. In 2005 Big Nasty joined forces with Southside FC to create Southside Nasty FC. This merger paid immediate dividends as they were crowned Champions of the Second Division in the Fall of 2005. Southside Nasty subsequently moved to the first division and changed their name to The Blues FC. The Blues FC toiled in the 1st Division for three seasons capturing a runner’s up spot as well as two 3rd place finishes. During this time The Blues merged once again but this time with an ailing club Los Iluminados of the Premier Division. Out of the merger Sporting Richmond Football Club was born. Since their inception SRFC has been named Summer ’07 & ’08 1st Division Champions along with capturing 2nd and 3rd place finishes in the Premier Division of the CVSA.
