Tolsta Football Club was first formed in 1936 and the club's colours were green and white hoops (also the school's colours). After re-forming in 1976, they competed in Lewis and Harris Football Association competitions from 1976 until the club disbanded in 1988. They are pictured here in 1981 after winning the Eilean an Fhraoich Cup.
