History

Initial years

After taking over in round 6 of VI.537, the same time their close rivals Juniper Hill were taken over by Blackmissionary, Rosemeadow were guided to a 4th place finish in their first attempt. A respectable finish in a somewhat challenging league. Immediate rapport was developed between Poluta'u Gero and the new manager and Gero quickly became a favourite. Goalkeeper, Salvatore Motlop also took the manager's eye in their initial year together.

Their first ever game was a 3-3 draw aginst Juniper Hill. Rosemeadow went the rest of the season under Robert undefeated 6-2-0.

Rosemeadow started the next season poorly losing 6-1 to Northern Territory then 8-0 in the 2nd round of the cup. However that was one of only 3 losses in the season as they went on to finish 2nd behind Juniper Hill. Poluta'u Gero was awarded the Royal's Golden Boot award as well as being voted Player's Player for this season. The end of teh seaosn also marked the start of the manager becoming a supporter of hattrick.

After again failing to get past the 2nd round of the cup after drawing another Div V opponent, Robert_SWS focused all his new found knowledge and experience from the first 1 and a half season in charge on the seaosn at hand. He managed to lead Rosemeadow through an undefeated season 11-3-0 (+36) and get them auto-promoted. This also marked the season Salvatore Motlop was given the reigns as Head Coach.

The New Era

Their first season in Div V proved to be way too much for the still green manager as Rosemeadow were tossed out of V.164 with a 0-0-14 (-53) record. Despite this, Rosemeadow amanged to pick up Adidas sponsorship at the start of the season. Just before round 7 games could be played, Rosemeadow had a mass sale and basically started again from scratch but with a firm structure in mind. The team hired a new coach in Bjorn Stensson (now a hall of fame member) and spent over $10,000,000 in investments for the club. This included 8 new playmaking trainees in, Henry Van Elburg, Jean Kwanten, Thomas Bladsky, (youth pull) Masatomo Makino, Gonzalo Moreno, Flaviu Costea, Johny Harvengt and Jamal Weyden.

The season was written off but it was a much needed wake up call for change at the Royal Court.

The following season seemed to set the tone for more trouble as Rosemeadow failed to beat a bot in the 2nd round of the cup and were beaten in the 1st league game of the season. However this wasn't to be the case as the early season blemishes were quickly forgotten as Rosemeadow went on to claim their 2nd Div VI title and another auto-promotion.

It is funny to look back now at what was then a record for the club as they "splurged over AU$3,000,000 to buy a whole new team". These days that won't even buy one player.
