The A Grade has recently won flags in 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015 and 2019 and the club remains the most successful of all WA amateur footy teams in terms of the number of premierships won. The club takes pride in development, showcasing the most successful colts program over the last decade, winning several premierships and having numerous players transition into senior football. In conjunction with the colts program, over the last few years we have introduced a strong and successful women's program which is derived of two teams and is growing in stature every season.
