History
The club was founded in 1990 to provide development for Gold Coast cricket talent and a pathway to First-class cricket. It entered Brisbane grade cricket as the Colts team had been disbanded shortly prior leaving a vacancy in the competition.
In 2018 the Queensland State Government Female Friendly Facilities Fund provided $500,000 to upgrade changing rooms for players and officials at Bill Pippen Oval, Kerrydale. In 2019 the club was shortlisted for the Australian Premier Cricket Club of the Year at the ''A Sport for All'' Awards due to its excellent development of players, creating positive experiences for the community, and pioneering women's and all-abilities cricket.
