History

Founded in 1886, the club is one of oldest country, but its distance of the great centers and its weak population always prevented it from exerting a real domination on the Currie Cup, in spite of three victories. It is with him that South Africa owes Currie Cup. In round in country in 1891, Lions British decided to offer cut, “Cut Currie” (of the name of Donald Currie, the ship-owner which had made them gift of it), with the best team of province than they would face and they were Griquas. This cut rewards from now on the best team for province of the season.
