Until the current recreation reserve was established and opened on 18th April 1949 the club is known to have played on at least six grounds. To begin with , a paddock was donated for use by a local farmer and when he wished to reclaim his paddock foe tilling another farmer with suitable land would be approached and a new football ground born. ( the boundry line was ploughed with a single furrow plough and goal posts were fashioned from bush saplings) To date we know of three different jumpers used by the club. All blue with N.F.C white monogram until the 1930’s; royal blue with white hoops until 1937; the present day of navy blue with white hoops. The present Newlyn sporting complex was opened in April 1991 and was erected with the labour and support of the local community.
