Clarence United Football Club is a Football (soccer) Club which represents Clarence in the Tasmanian Southern Premier League. The club also fields teams in all junior divisions, as well as womens teams. Clarence United play their home games at Wentworth Park, an impressive multiple pitch venue located alongside Howrah Beach in the Clarence, Tasmania.
The club was formed in 1978 as Phoenix Rovers Socer Club, and originally wore a Scotland International strip for home matches, and a plain red t-shirt as an alternate away strip. Their club colours are now red and black, with a variety of kits for different teams. The team finished 3rd in a 22 team competition in their first season.
In 1979 the name was changed to Phoenix Lauderdale Rovers after amalgamating with Lauderdale Soccer Club. In 1982, they met with Clarence Soccer Club to discuss a merger, but it did not go ahead at that time. The merger eventually went ahead in 1984, and a meeting was held where it was agreed the name would change to "PCL United" (Phoenix Clarence Lauderdale).
The main team currently wears a shirt which is predominantly red, with black bands across the shoulders, red shorts, and black socks with thin single red and white hoops around the top. Although the club is no longer known by the name "Phoenix", a Phoenix rising out of flames is still the club logo. The club has been highly successful in various competitions and has won several honours.
