Winning the title in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

The Lions also have a very successful junior program. The 'Cubs' is an under 18's program that play a 7 man version of the game on Friday nights. The Cubs season has commenced for 2012 with pre season training underway on Sundays mornings from 10am-1pm at 'The Square' and on Wednesday nights from 6:30pm-8:30pm at St Andrews Oval.
