Team Notes: Established in 1989 out of a merger between Thames Pirates, Kingston Bengals & Woking Generals and played two seasons in the BNGL. Very successful side only ever losing 1 regular season game. Won the 1989 BNGL Premier Division title defeating Redditch 66-8 in the final.

WR Don Larson received a scholarship to try out with Notre Dame - doubt whether Don actually played for Kingston.


"Disbanded in 1991, due to the usual lack of players, with the few players left we attempted a merger with the West London Aces, which I beleive on the whole, failed.  Only about five players stayed with West London, even though, at the time of the merger, Kingston had the majority of better, fitter players, we even asked Steve Beecroft to attend and assist, but after a few sessions, he felt that the "Aces" players were not attuned to his way of football"
