The club was formed in 2005 when Gaz Stephenson, Si Collins, Andy Cole and Tom Cuddy decided not to continue travelling to Rochdale with the Sportsman Spartans. They opted to form a team in West Leeds based at their local pub, The Dragon. After a short while a committee was formed and plans were laid for the future hopes and ambitions of the club. The initial aim was to form the team and compete reasonably in Div.6. Things snowballed and the first years success story was beyond anyones wildest dreams. The league title was won and two cup finals reached, winning the Bartlett Insurance cup at Bus Vale against Div.3 Champions Morley Borough. Our next aim was to make the club financially stable and able to compete for at least the next five years. We were well on our way to achieving this, and the team were still competing at the top end of the table. Our thanks go to everyone who contributed time, money, and effort to the cause.
In 2006/07 season the club finished a very creditable 4th in Div.4 surprising a few who thought we might struggle with a small squad. Finances were a bit of a struggle but we managed to keep our heads above water and stayed in the black.
Further signings were made to boost the squad, and in 2007/08 we finished as Champions of Pennine Div.4. Two league titles, two promotions, a Leeds & District Cup, and financially viable after 3 years. You could say things were going to plan !!
Division 3 in 2008/09 also proved a success story as we finished Champions for the second season running. The battle for honours went down to the wire and jubilant scenes followed our last game victory at rivals Brighouse Rangers. The club now face another step up in 2009/10. Again we will be keeping our feet firmly on the ground, and survival will be our first target.
