After losing the final of the NYL against Auckland City in the 2013–14 season, the team won the NYL title in the 2014–15 season, beating Team Wellington 5–1 on the final day and watching Waitakere United slump to a draw against Auckland City.[1] They disbanded after the 2015 season, when they were replaced in the youth league by Tasman United.[2]
