History
Earlier club
A version of this club existed from 1904 to 1906. They competed in the Church Union Association and won the 1905 Church Union Association premiership. The club was short-lived, disbanding in 1906, and it was another 16 years before St Mary's re-formed. This was done with great success playing in the Geelong Athletics Societies Football Association. It won flags in 1922, 1923, 1924 and 1927 before disbanding again in 1934.
Current club
The club was reformed from the merger of CYMS and YCW Clubs in 1953. They joined the GDFL Evelyn Hurst Cup and won their first flag in 1956. Since then it has become one of the most consistently successful club in the league. It was part of the breakaway that created the Geelong Football League in 1979.
