Bonnyrigg White Eagles FC is an Australian semi-professional soccer club based in Bonnyrigg, Sydney, New South Wales, currently playing in the National Premier Leagues NSW. The club was founded in 1968 as Avala Sports Club and obtained its current name in 1992. ==History== Established by Serbian migrants from the Cabramatta area of south-west Sydney, their primary supporter base has been the local Serbian community. Its most famous products are former Socceroo Milan Blagojević, current Perth Glory and former Young Socceroo captain and goalkeeper Danny Vuković, as well as current Young Socceroo and Melbourne Heart defender David Vranković. Another famous White Eagles alumnus is Aleksandar Janković, who was manager of Red Star Belgrade twice. Another famous White Eagles product is former Brisbane Roar defender Milan Susak, who played a major role in Ange Postecoglou's Premiership and Championship winning side. Susak is currently on contract with Middle East club Al Wasl from the United Arab Emirates. Established in 1968, the club was originally known as the Avala Sports Club, named after the Avala mountain in Serbia. In 1977, Avala was promoted to the New South Wales Premier League and competed in the top level of New South Wales soccer until 1986. After a two-year absence from the New South Wales Premier League which included a New South Wales Winter Super League Premiership-Championship double in 1988, Avala's strong performances in the State Leagues and their strong crowd attendances didn't go unnoticed and they were offered the opportunity to be a part of the National Soccer League; however they declined due to poor administration within the Soccer Australia sector and the large financial burden it would place on the club, with many other clubs within the league at the time financially struggling. Avala returned to top flight action in 1989, undergoing a name change to Bonnyrigg White Eagles after the 1992 season, and remained in the Top Division until 2006. After picking up both a premiership and championship over the next three seasons in the Super League, in 2009 Bonnyrigg was once again promoted to the New South Wales Premier League, playing in the highest league in New South Wales. They quickly picked up more honours by claiming their 4th and 5th New South Wales Premier League Premierships and Club Championships in the 2010 and 2012 seasons respectively, also suffering grand final defeats in the 2005, 2010 and 2012 seasons. They won the championship for a third time in the 2013 NSW Premier League season. They have won five Premierships and three Championships in the NSW Premier League in their history. Under Brian "Bomber" Brown's arrival towards the half-way point of the NSW Premier League season in 2009, the club has achieved Two Premierships respectively in 2010 and 2012 alongside the club's first Championship in 2013 which was the first time in thirteen years, defeating the Macedonian-backed Rockdale City Suns at Penrith Stadium in front of over 8000 spectators thanks to a solitary goal from Former Adelaide United Striker Robbie Younis. Under Brown's reign, the club also reached the 2010 and 2012 NSW Premier League Grand Finals but lost to Blacktown City and Marconi Stallions respectively. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bonnyrigg White Eagles FC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
