Team Notes: One of the oldest clubs in the UK. Founded in the week of Super Bowl XX; kitted by the summer of 1986; playing by September.
Coached by Harry Lions in 1988, formerly of the Manchester Allstars. Changed their name to The Romans for the 1995 and 1996 seasons and relocated to Wales where they played in Wrexham. Won BSL Division Two Bowl in 1999 despite only squeezing into the play-offs with a 4-3-1 record. Changed their name to the Cheshire Romans for the 2001 season, and then back to Chester Romans in 2002. Had a disappointing year in 2003, where they failed to win a game. Relegated to Division One A in 2004, they again struggled and suffered a second straight relegation following a 1-9-0 season. Built a youth kitted side in 2004.
