HIstory
In 1941 the name Cumberland appeared for the first time. It followed an organisation called the OTIOSE (pronounced OSHIRES) Youth Club in 1931 which involved junior teams many of whose players had begun at Unley High School. Early games were played at Hollywood Estate, now known as Cumberland Park. Senior games did not begin until 1943 and the first official uniform was white shirts, black shorts and black socks with a white top.
