History
In their first season, they suffered disappointing results, placing fourth in the Logan Cup,[2] and failing to qualify for the final of either the one-day or Twenty20 competitions.[3][4] The following season, they qualified for the final of the Logan Cup as league runners-up, and despite missing their best four batsmen in the final, defeated the Mountaineers by 18 runs to claim their first title.[5][6] They defended their title the following year, winning five of their eight matches to clinch consecutive wins in the Logan Cup: the first team in the franchise-era to achieve the feat.[7]
They won the 2016–17 Pro50 Championship, the domestic List A tournament.[8]
