Casino Sharks

Originally known as the Goannas, Casino only engaged in B Grade football in their debut season of 1991/2. They did well, getting as far as the grand final, in which they lost by just 3 points to Banks. Two years later they were accorded senior status but found the going difficult, and at the end of the 1998/9 season they disbanded.

The 2003/4 season saw Casino reforming under the Lions banner, but once again the club - since renamed the Sharks - has found success hard to achieve. In 2008/9 they won just 3 of their 15 home and away matches to end up with the wooden spoon.
