The Spartans were one of four original clubs to form the Gridiron league of South Australia in 1985. Along with the Razorbacks, Breakers and Longhorns (now Oilers) we competed in the first season of Gridiron in South Australia in 1986. The Spartans had the pleasure of playing the first ever game of gridiron in SA on the 11th of January 1986, beating the Longhorns 13 - 0.
