History
Founded in 1984, Sandyford has played in LCU competition since 1985. Beginning with one team the club grew continuously and at one point featured 4 teams in the LCU leagues. The club has seen many ups and downs since. At one point in time, in 2020, the club fielded just one team with less than 20 active members. Since 2021, due the the effort of many hard working club members, the club is now back to fielding 4 teams with 80 active members.
