To this day, the vast majority of St Andrews players are entirely unfamiliar with the sport before they come to the university.

The club enjoyed a more fruitful late 2000s, finishing above Edinburgh and equalled with Aberdeen in the 2007 Littlejohn, in the St Andrews Sixes the team lost in the final to London Camanachd.

The club originally played in the Women's Shinty League setup but were often overmatched.

However, in the 2010s, with a large intake every year of new students, the club has managed to achieve University league success.

The club hosts the annual St. Andrew's Sixes for the Fingal Memorial Shield.
