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.
From small beginnings seven years ago the club is in a very healthy position with about 100 members, ranging in age from 50 to 85, many of whom are female.
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...
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.
There is now a session on Sunday morning that is women only and it is proving very successful. They are known as the Starlings and have their own blue and black strip.
A page dedicated to them will be coming soon.
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.
