The Scotch Old Collegians Football Club (SOCFC) is an Australian rules football club located in Torrens Park, South Australia, playing in the South Australian Amateur Football League. The club is one of the sports sections of Scotch College, Adelaide and was formed in 1929 and it is the fifth-oldest club in the SAAFL.[1]
