More recently the club founded an open-age team into which the junior players could progress.

After a period of success during which the club reached Division 1 in the Pennine League, won the Huddersfield Supplementary cup twice and were losing finalists in the LB Holiday Cup once, the club was unfortunately disbanded in 1994/95 due a struggle to find new players.

In 1995, as the Newsome Magpies open age team disbanded, Paul and Gail Brick with the help of a number of willing parents launched a junior section that once up and running would provide a regular supply of able players to the open age team.

The first official committee meeting was held on Monday 23 October 1995 and the name Panthers was adopted, and the club was born.

The new junior club was still to be based at the Fountain Inn and with home games played at Newsome High School and Sports College.

The 2003/04 season brought together a genuine championship team with the squad winning every competition that they were able to take part in.

It also became evident that as the club grew, the two fields at Newsome High School and Sports College alone would not be enough to stage the number of games required each weekend.
