The nearby Griffin pub was a popular meeting place for fans before and after London Broncos home games.

Griffins man of the match was shared this between Jason Dunn, who controlled the game admirably in the centre of the pitch, and Chris Caulfield who defended superbly and looked dangerous in attack.

In its final 13 a side game of its first season, the Griffins went back to South London Storm on 25 September 2005 looking for revenge.

The Griffins showed great skill and determination while inspired leadership from Bill Drinkwater and Dell Bristow saw the team victorious in an intense battle.

The Griffins got off to a poor start with successive group stage defeats to York and Castleford but recovered well to take the scalp of the Leeds Lost Loiners.

The first big test came against Hull FC Irregulars and the London side romped home by 5 tries to 1 including another hat-trick this time from King.

After a tight first half the Griffins pulled away to score a 7 tries to 4 victory with Maurice Harley (2), Chris Heading, Steve Farrar, Jason Dunn and Rob Douglas all registering tries.

The game was played at the New River Stadium as a curtain raiser to the National League Two clash between London Skolars and Sheffield Eagles.

Three quick tries in a late fightback from the Forgers put the home side under pressure but the Griffins were able to hang on during a nervy finish to claim a 38–32 victory.

Encouraged by the full contact experience the club applied to join the London Amateur Rugby League for the 2007 season.

The whole team put in a great performance and debutants Leon Hook (2), Mark Price and Jamie Robinson all scored tries.
