Won two division championships in their first two years losing in the play-offs each time, and then struggled when reaching the top flight in 1989 with three losing records before folding in 1991. Popular fullback Ronnie Barnes tragically died on the field for the Packers during a 1991 game vs London Ravens after a heart seizure. Toured Channel Isles at start of 1988 season.
