Team notes: Began in January 1984. Also have a flourishing Youth kitted side, that in 2000 won the 3rd/4th place playoff against the Southern Sundevils. Posted a 5-1-0 record in 2001, and missed out on a semi-final spot by points difference. Senior side reached with a 7-0-1 regular season record in 2001, and reached the Div.2 Bowl game where they lost to rivals Ipswich. Went one step better in 2002, finishing the season with a perfect 12-0-0 record and winning the BSL Division Two title. That promotion though came at a cost as they struggled to find form in the tough Division One and were relegated with a 0-8-0 record and could not complete their fixtures. They regrouped in 2004, but again found Division One A too difficult and were relegated into Division Two following a 1-9-0 season.
