The team, originally called United Services Devonport, was limited to military officers and its first recorded match was a 2-2 tie against Plymouth in 1904 . Devonport mostly lost until 1912 when it opened to other ranks and results improved dramatically. A ''South Wales Echo'' Sportswriter gave Devonport the Nickname ''The Sporting Blues'' after a match with a Swansea team. Many internationals have played for the club. Home games are played on the Rectory Field, previously home of Plymouth Albion (Albion is now at the Brickfields, across King's Road). All British Armed Forces players are elligible to join the club.
