Formed in May 1891 by mainly Scottish coalminers who had settled in the area to find work in the newly opened mines of the district. That year they participated in a six-team badge series. The first competitive game occurred on the 30th of April 1892 at Johnston Park before a crowd of 1200 people against Adamstown Rosebuds. The result was a 2-2 draw and the match was celebrated with a banquet at Johnston's Hotel (now the Museum Hotel).
