History
The current club was formed in 1989, but its history stretches back to 1923 and the foundation of Comrades FC. This team amalgamated with Grey Lynn FC in 1952, briefly becoming Grey Lynn Comrades United, before renaming to Grey Lynn United in 1954 . In 1986 this team combined with Celtic United to form Grey Lynn Celtic. It was this team which combined with Point Chevalier AFC (founded 1943) to become Western Springs in 1989.
