Richmond Fourths Premiership team

Overview:
"Since its formation in 1951 this Eighteen has been the nursery ground for Tigerland" - AR 1956
The Under 17 Grade played its matches during the 1969 season at Essex Heights Oval, Mount Waverley, and transferred from the Melbourne Boys' League to the South-East Suburban League.
As a result, the Richmond Fourths became Essex Heights Football Club Under 17.
