[2] The club was founded as Welgris Momads sometime at the start of the 21st century, as their first season on record came in 2001 when they took part in the Mount Hagen Regional League.

Despite defeating eventual champions Hekari United 1–0 early in the season, they picked up just two wins from eight matches and finished bottom of the table, being the only side to fail to make the playoffs.

[11] The side came up against champions Hekari in the semi-final, losing 1–0, before preparing to head to the Lloyd Robson Oval in Port Moresby on 21 March 2009 for the third-place match against University Inter, who had finished second in the table.

However, after two postponements, the NSL board eventually cancelled both the third-place match and the final, leaving Welgris technically in 4th behind Inter due to their inferior regular season record.

[16] In October 2013, the side revealed they would be withdrawing from the upcoming 2014 season because the costs for taking part were too high, citing a change in the competition format as one of the primary reasons for this.
