History
The Club was formed as a football club in 1967 by a local man Jack Gurteen, from a group of Pine Rivers High School students who used to kick a ball around in their lunch time. The lads approached Jack and a game was arranged with Redcliffe City U14's at Redcliffe. The Pine Rivers team won 5-3! As a result, parents of the winning team decided to get together and start a club. At the same time a number of youngsters from Lawnton State School came along and asked for a game. They were 9-12 year olds. Jack arranged a game against Zillmere, but Rivers lost 16-0. The Club later became incorporated as a multi-sports club. The current clubhouse was built in 1978. The club is affectionately nicknamed 'The Predators'.
1989 saw promotion to the Bpl (then known as xxxx league) with a high mid table finish followed by a finals appearance the following season under the stewardship of former Brisbane City and Motherwll veteran Bob Hamilton. Young players at this time were Noel Carrol and Clayton Koch who was sold at the end of the 1990 season to Sydney Croatia.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“So in accepting the leading of the sentiments, it is not what we believe concerning the immortality of the soul, or the like, but the universal impulse to believe, that is the material circumstance, and is the principal fact in this history of the globe.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
