1986-1988
Knox Gardens Cricket Club was formed to accompany the football club at the reserve aligning themselves with the local council, adopting the brown and gold colours of the football club and in keeping with the council logo and the Knox name were known as the Falcons.A concerted effort to tap into the youth well in the area and provide a ‘local’ sport outlet for the young families, members of the club were moved to form the Knox Gardens Junior Football Club. Due to the unfashionable and becoming outdated brown and gold colours and the preference of the founders, the junior team wore Essendon jumpers and adopted the Falcons as their mascot. The first premiership for the club was achieved by the Reserves in this year but the winning feeling would dissipate in the following few years.
