History
editThe club was established in 2013 with the aim of introducing rugby league to the local area, particularly focusing on school children. The club operates junior as well as ladies' teams.
In 2022 and 2023, the club struggled to find volunteers to run training sessions. In July 2023, it was announced that if attempts to revive the club were unsuccessful the management team would dissolve the club.[1][2]
