The club first entered teams in the Under 17 competition in 1948, achieving a Senior team a two years later. Player numbers did not warrant a Reserves team until the late 1960s. The Under 18s were originally Under 17s until an even-numbered competition was introduced by the E.D.F.L. in 1982.

In the 2001-02 seasons, the club also entered a second Under 18 team in the Div. 2 (B-Grade) competition, which was created to handle the additional flow on of players from the higher graded Div.1 team. Coaches were A. Gray (2001) and S. Grey (2002).
Whilst people's recollections can sometimes be a little vague, much of the documentation of our club's formative years is forever lost, and there are quite a few names missing from the above list. Anyone who can fill in the blanks on the list is encouraged to email the custodian of these club records at: abersfc@bigpond.net.au
