As the title suggests, this is an abridged history of Como West (-Jannali). Recognition is given to all those who worked tirelessly to form a club and provide necessary acquisitions with very little funds, but an abundance of enthusiasm. Also acknowledged are those who have worked and continue to work hard to establish a progressive and successful club. Members whose interest was, and is, in the game of soccer can be assured, as the club develops further it will continue as a family club and all associated will provide the best they can with training, coaching, equipment, facilities, social interaction, and a genuine interest in all members.


Information has been extracted from Minutes of Meetings and club newssheets. My thanks to Lionel Morris, and Harold Jackson for their contribution of copies of early editions of the club newssheets which provided me with valuable information. Unfortunately verbal information from "early" members resulted in some differences in recall so the written (club records) were relied upon.
