editThe club was formed in 1926, three years after the Group 9 competition.[2]
The club has won two First Grade premierships in 1964 and 1986, and been runner up four times.[3][4]
In 2021 and 2022, the club had no First Grade squad after player shortages and financial difficulties hit the club.[5] However, the club returned to the field in 2023 with a new crop of local juniors filtering into First Grade throughout the season, and even hosted a famous Pie in the Sky match featuring many former National Rugby League players.[6]
