In 1938 the club colours were black and white.[9]

In 1940, 16 players from the Boree Creek FC enlisted for active duty inWorld War Two and thus, the club therefore pulled out of The Rock & District Football Assication in late June, 1940.[10][11] The club reformed in 1946 afterWW2[12] and joined theMilbrulong Football League.
