History

The 2020–21 season brought severe challenges as the club struggled with the Covid breaks plus had to compensate the injuries of key players such as Erik McCree and Briante Weber. Yet, the arrival of new head coach JD Jackson brought some victories so that the team was able to stay in the country's prime division.[1]
