History
The Mohawks are arguably the most successful basketball club from the area, having won numerous national trophies. Their most successful period was in the early 2000s, in that time winning the 1999-00, 2001-02 and 2002-03 Division 1 league titles, 2002-03 and 2003-04 Division 1 Playoff titles and winning the National Trophy four consecutive times from 1999 to 2003. Their most recent success was the 2008 Patrons Cup.
Success dried up, and following relegation from Division 1 and after a season in Division 2 , the club took a short hiatus, focusing on developing their youth system. The club re-entered the National Basketball League in 2019, playing in the reorganised Division 3.
