The 1912 Ponsonby squad included: Arthur Carlaw, Alf Chorley, Charlie Dunning, W Hooper, B Kean, Charles Webb, V Hunter, Tom Lynch, Scotch MacDonald, Harry Oakley, M Stanaway, Syd Riley, Billy Tyler and J Warner.

The club was founded in August 1908 by two returning All Golds, Billy Tyler and Charlie Dunning.

The team was named after Thomas Wilson Leys who built a building which still stands today for boys to do something and stop them from loitering around 3 Lamps and the tavern later known as the Gluepot.

1952 saw the club win the "treble" of the Fox Memorial, Roope Rooster and Stormont Shield all in one year.

In 2015 the Ponies entered back into the Sharman Cup & the rebuild began with a number of former players returning.
