The Bears have spent the majority of their 100-year history in the top flight of local football, winning 13 Grand Finals, 9 Premierships and 9 Club Championships.

During the 1980s, Weston wore a yellow away strip, which resulted in the fans referring to the team as 'The Canaries' for a short period.

Weston's performances in recent seasons of the NBN State League: *2010: Deserved Minor Premiers finishing the year on 39 points in 1st place.

After finishing 4th on the table, the Reserves defeated Broadmeadow and Hamilton to qualify for the Grand Final, which they won 5–0 against Azzurri FC.

The 2006 season was the last for Bears coach Trevor Morris who decided to step down after 4 years in the top job.

Although the Bears went into the finals with high hopes they were outplayed in the first leg by Minor Premiers Broadmeadow Magic losing 3–0.

Broadmeadow struck back almost immediately after break, meaning Weston needed another 2 goals to advance.

Reserve grade started the season strongly and were right in the mix for the finals but results did not go their way and they finished equal 5th with Edgeworth just 3 points outside the 4.

Their first win was very emotional, it put some self belief back into the team and they improved on last years performance finishing 9th on 13 points.

Both clubs have enjoyed success at the top of local football over their histories, however Cessnock were relegated back to the NewFM 1st Division at the end of the 2005 season.
