2008 season
The 2008 season was the clubs first and they have managed to finish second in the Scottish Rugby League Conference, partly due to outstanding performances by Craig "Chubbs" Lewis, who holds the record number of tries in a rugby league season (17) due to his breathtaking sidestep and deceptive speed. Another player to mention is their Zimbabwean born prop Nico Nyemba, who along with Nick "Vinny" McAuley and player/coach Morgan Martin battered holes in every defence. This qualified them for the play-offs. However, they suffered defeats in both games which meant they would play in the Shield Final against Paisley Hurricanes.
