With one flag and one runners-up trophy from three Grand Final appearances (they drew a Grand Final with                         the Furies before losing the replay), the "Swampies" could arguably be regarded as the most successful club to no longer be in operation. Matches between the Swampies and other teams, in                         particular versus the Roys, would mutate into virtual yobbo grog parties, and any match thread was a delight - if disturbing - to read. After a year in recess, a reprise instigated by                         Alberton Magpie would only last the one season, and the Port-based team are now sadly resigned to a                         page in Sweet FA folklore.

HISTORY
EARLY HISTORY

The Alberton Swamprats beginnings goes back to 2003. After a couple of seasons of the Sweet FA, murmurs began around the starting of a club born from the Port Adelaide forum. The club was formed and played a trial game against a team from the Adelaide forum. The Swamprats, led by Macca19, won a tight contest with a goal seconds from the final siren.
