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:
“Every library should try to be complete on something, if it were only the history of pinheads.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“The principal office of history I take to be this: to prevent virtuous actions from being forgotten, and that evil words and deeds should fear an infamous reputation with posterity.”

“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
