The Yeoman Football Club is an Australian rules football club based in Burnie, Tasmania, which plays its home games at Wivenhoe Showgrounds, Burnie. It competes in the Darwin Football Association, running Senior and Reserve Grade sides.




Formation



Yeoman was formed around 1895 and originally competed in junior competitions prior to World War I. It became a senior club when it was invited to compete in the North West Football Union in 1920. Originally based in Elliott, Tasmania, they moved their headquarters to Wynyard, Tasmania in 1922. In September 1924 they changed their name to Wynyard Football Club, to better represent their municipality, despite their already being another club by that name.

Home ground


Yeoman currently plays its home games at Wivenhoe Showgrounds, Wivenhoe (2009 onwards). Prior to this, the club was based at Les Clark Oval, Cooee, from 1970 to 2008.
Before the move to Les Clark Oval, the Club had used two home grounds.
In Yeoman's first decades of existence home matches were played on a paddock at a local farm owned by James Gale, about 90 metres north of the Elliott Hall.
The club then moved its home games in the early 1920s to a new ground which had been opened for cricket and football, about 2 kilometres south of its initial home ground.
