In 1980
the Senior team got the new decade of to a good start when they won the
Premiership to complete the hat trick of wins begun in 1979. The Reserve team
won flags in both 1980 and 1981 to bring their success to five flags in five
years. Then, however, a period of decline set in and with the exception of a
brief finals appearance in the 1983 First Semi Final, the Club's Senior team
would not play a part in finals action until 1987.
The
Club's Junior team brought premiership success to the Club in 1985 and that
team would provide the building blocks for later Senior team success.
That success came at the end of the decade when, in 1989, both the Senior and
Junior teams won premierships while the Reserves finished in third place. For
the Senior team, another hat trick of premiership glory was beckoning.
