[3] They also finished second in the Papua New Guinea National Club Championship on two occasions, as well as winning the regional Port Moresby Premier League twice, in 1989 and 2004.

[10] Later that year, they made it to the knockout stages of the Port Moresby Premier League, defeating champions University but losing to PS United and Defence and eventually placing 3rd.

[12] The side's poor placing in the Port Moresby Premier League meant they failed to qualify for the 2002 National Club Championship, and they haven't returned to the competition to date.

However, the side finished third in the 2002 Port Moresby Premier League regular season table before progressing to the knockout finals, where they were again denied a title by ICF University.

[18] Under the sponsorship of Inspac, they entered the second edition of the NSL[19] and played their first semi-professional match against fellow newcomers to the league, Besta Madang Fighters, winning 3–0.

They would eventually go on to finish 4th in the league table, qualifying for the knockout stages, before going down 3–0 to Gelle Hills in the semi-final and losing 3–1 to Morobe Kumuls in the third-place playoff.

[18] Ahead of the 2008–09 season, Rapatona secured sponsorship from South Korean building contractor CMSS, who had signed an agreement with the Papua New Guinean government to construct the Port Moresby Casino Hotel.

[20] The side was renamed CMSS Rapatona Tigers, but maintained their original name for the 2008 Port Moresby Premier League campaign, where they finished second in the regular season table.

However, a handball by Ila Ilaitia Jr allowed Gigira Laitepo Morobe to win against Rapatona in their semi-final 1–0, after substitute Kohu Liam converted the resulting penalty.

[22] This failure to reach the Grand Final prompted franchise owner Jimmy Kim to 'ponder' on the club's future in the NSL.

[21] In July 2009, it was reported that the side had changed their name to Moresby Casino Hotel Tigers FC and had confirmed their participation in the upcoming 2010–11 season.
