Around the State League fixture against Clarence on Saturday, June 29, Windsor Park will host a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the 1969 NTFA Premiership.

In conjunction, the club will also celebrate the 1979 NTFA under-19 and 2009 State League reserve premierships and would like past players, officials, committee members and supporters to attend and help celebrate its history.

The 1969 side saw captain-coach Bob Withers take the Blues to their first flag since 1951 with a 44-point win over East Launceston. Tony West kicked eight goals.

This 1979 success represented the club's first under-19 premiership, coached by Dick Woodard, while the 2009 flag was achieved in the first year of the re-launched Tasmanian State League.
