Kangaroo Point Rovers Football Club is an Australian soccer club from Brisbane, Queensland. The club was formed in 1996 as the Pineapple Rovers Soccer Football Club, but was renamed in 2005 after relocating to its current ground at Raymond Park, Kangaroo Point.[1]
History
The club currently fields first and reserve grade teams in the Brisbane Capital League Division 2 competition, and in the Brisbane Metropolitan Men's and the Brisbane Women's competitions.
The club is a reincarnation of the original Pineapple Rovers, one of the oldest clubs in Queensland, thought to have been formed in the late 1880s and playing out of Raymond Park (then known as the Pineapple Sportsfield, named for the adjacent Pineapple Hotel) until around 1940.[2]
