History

The club was founded in 1953. In 1965 it moved to its current home ground at Myamblah Crescent in Merewether. This ground was built on the remnants of the old Glebe Colliery complex, which closed in 1959 due to an industry slump. This was served by a company railway from The Junction, past its school then up Merewether Street embankment crossing Llewellyn, Caldwell & Ridge Streets, past the telephone exchange, up Morgan Street, crossing Yule Road to the Newcastle Coal Mining Company's colliery complex.

In 2009 the club launched a team in the inaugural Northern NSW Women's Premier League, although the team was unsuccessful in making the final series.

In 2009 the club had a very successful year, with 16 teams going into the final series with 9 teams reaching the grand final, 7 winning grand finals and 5 teams achieving minor premierships.

2009 Minor Premier Teams were the 10B, 13C (Dom Ritter's team), All Age Women/D, 18B girls & All Age Women/A teams.
