A Little bit more about the Club

Formation

With the help of Albion in the Community, the club was formed in the summer of 2015 with just a handful of players, many of whom are still members of the club. The next day we entered our first tournament. With no team strip, we all agreed that we at least had a black T-shirt that we could wear.  Which led to us adopting the black and yellow as the club colours.

Membership

From small beginnings seven years ago the club is in a very healthy position with about 100 members, ranging in age from 40s to 80s, many of whom are female.

Why Dolphins and Penguins?

Why not?

OK - well Dolphins is an old nickname for the Albion before they became the Seagulls (back when we were all young) - and Penguins... well they're black and yellow and look funny when they try to run...

Tournaments

The team regularly fields teams in local and national competitions, often very successfully. We have collected quite a lot of silverware over the years.

Before the pandemic we also hosted our own tournament - the Clearwell Cup.

One of our members has played several times for the England over-70s squad.

Women-Only Session

There are now two sessions that are women only and  they are proving very popular. They are known as the Starlings and have their own blue and black strip.

A page dedicated  to them will be coming soon.

Sponsors

We are very lucky to have attracted sponsors at a very early stage and are proud to wear the logo of CLEARWELL MOBILITY on our shirts. We are also grateful to the East Brighton Trust for the grant they made to the club in 2017.
