The club as the name suggests was originally formed as an offshoot for past school boys to continue playing organised sport.
The club continues to foster a relationship with St Patrick's College, but not all players are recruited from the school.
The club is situated in Prospect Vale on a lower oval of the college's grounds.
The oval has adequate lighting facilities[1] to host night games.
The oval has been used as a conceptual model for urban salinity in Launceston, Tasmania.
