On 19 September 2013, it was confirmed that the team would compete in the National Premier Leagues Northern NSW competition from 2014 to 2019.[1] They played in the National Premier Leagues Northern NSW from 2014 to 2019, with the majority of their home games at Jack McLaughlan Oval.

For the 2020 season, they transferred to the National Premier Leagues NSW, within the newly created NPL4 Division.[2] They were promoted to the NPL2 Division mid-season, when the 2020 season resumed in July. [3]
