Present Day
Pine Rivers United were participating in the Brisbane Premier League, and were a team that was usually expected to finish in the mid-lower regions of the table. In 2009, there were 13 teams participating in the premier league, and after round three of the 2009 season Pine Rivers sat last on zero points. After a turn of fortunes during the late stages of the season the club heroicly pushed out of the relegation zone to secure 10th place out of the 13 clubs participating. Pine Rivers main rivals are the high performing Rochedale Rovers, who finished 2nd in the 2009 season. The last time the two clubs played, a late strike from Seb Thatcher in the dying stages of the game secured a well fought 2-1 win against a team boasting many experienced Hyundai A-league players.
However, in the 2010 season the club finished 14th out of 14 teams, and will play in Brisbane Premier Division 1 in 2011.
