The intention was to provide an avenue for people living in the north western side of Ipswich to compete in Football. The Club headquartered at Sutton Park, entered the Brisbane Junior Football Association competition for the first time in 1975. The first three years saw an increase in player numbers to two ladies teams, 15 junior and one colts (senior division) team and about 200 players.
Their greatest ever player, Norbert Duga "The Angry Hungarian", is currently the club's first team coach. He retired as a player after a very decorated career that included lifting the Brisbane Division 2 Premiership and Grand Final trophies in 2009.
