, the first time the two sides had faced each other at senior level. In 2009, the team has gone from strength to strength starting with a Cuach win against Lewis and a strong winning streak at the start of the season which left them in pole position for the North Three championship for most of the season. They finished the season with 29 points but were overtaken by Beauly Reserves in the east coast club's final game. This second-place finish was still excellent progress by a club in its fifth season. The club had a disappointing 2010 season finishing fourth but well off the title pace. Decline continued in 2011 with a fifth-place finish but 2012 saw Broom pushing at the top of the league but always unlikely to catch a rampant Beauly. Third place showed that Broom had recaptured some of the 2009 form. Broom fell away again in 2013 back to sixth spot. 2014 was a disappointing season for the Broom and finally, after several seasons, a lack of player availability meant the club went into abeyance at senior level for the 2015 season.
