The club was one of the earliest teams that competed in the Papua New Guinea National Soccer League, joining the league in its second season in 2007–08, and never failing to qualify for the championship playoffs in their four years of competition, reaching the Grand Final in the 2008–09 season.[3] They also finished second in the Papua New Guinea National Club Championship on two occasions, as well as winning the regional Port Moresby Premier League twice, in 1989 and 2004.[4]
The club most recently took part in the 2017 Papua New Guinea National Premier League, having broken away from the Papua New Guinea Football Association in late 2016.[5] They finished bottom of the Southern Conference.[6]
