They went on to win the 1993 Division Four premiership before their senior side went into recess after the 1994 season. Virginia United’s senior men’s team re-emerged in 2008 and competed in the Metro League until the reorganisation of the Football Brisbane structure in 2013 which resulted in the club being placed in Capital League 3 for that season.
