The Saints boast a fine record, with twelve premierships - six each in senior and reserve grade - to their credit since 1947. Their most recent flag was obtained in Division One in 2001 thanks to a 15.19 (109) to 10.7 (67) grand final defeat of Hoppers Crossing.
In recent seasons St Albans have experienced mixed fortunes with the highlights coming in 2011, 2013 and 2014 when they qualified for the Division One finals. By contrast, in 2017 they only narrowly avoided the indignity of relegation before improving somewhat in 2018 when they finished seventh of ten teams.
