In 1974, some of the players decided to leave and form a separate club, the Charlotte Gargoyles.

For 2013 due to low player numbers and a lack of success at the DI level, Charlotte focused their energy on the DIII level, finishing atop their matrix and advancing to the DII competition where they have played since the fall of 2013.

In 2022, Charlotte became the USA Rugby Men's Club Division II National Champions.

During the 2022 USA Rugby playoffs, Charlotte defeated teams from Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Austin Tx, Santa Monica, and Denver, to solidify their place as National Champions!

The Olde Originals play their matches at the Skillbeck Athletic Grounds located in the Coulwood neighborhood of Charlotte.
