The Devonshire Colts Football Club was established in 1958, due to the efforts of Mr. Edward DeJean and Mr. Braxton Burgess.

These men were members of the Howard Academy, aka Skinners School, in Bermuda.

[citation needed] Following their school level successes, the Howard Academy team moved on to participating in practice matches with local men's football teams which subsequently led to the application and entry into the Bermuda Football Union.

Devonshire Colts fans consider B.A.A as a distant rivalry as they are not located close to each other.
