How it all began
The Dolphins was created in 2018, we originally began by starting a youth team for local young people aged 13 to 16.
In 2019, we competed in our first season of full contact American Football with 12 players; winning 3 games.
For the 2020 season, we had a further 15 young people register and with a handful of returning older players. The season was looking promising until it was suspended due to the Covid pandemic.
Moving into 2021 a large portion of our U16 moving into the U19 bracket and after discussions within the committee the club decided to pursue starting a U19 team to help the players who missed out in 2020 and to grow the club.
The club moved forward with a Sport England grant, which was award for £9995. This enabled the club to buy 20 sets of kit for the players to use. We also gained several new coaches to help spread the training across the U16 & U19.
In 2021 the U16 & U19 both compete in the league proper in the much condensed schedule.
