HISTORY

The Reading Roos were formed for the 2003 British Australian Rules Football League season, playing in the newly-formed BARFL Regional division. They played their first match against a selection from Oxford University at Kingsmeadow in Reading, but were soundly beaten. They went on to become a force in the BARFL season however, making the grand final - although they were defeated by the Bristol Dockers .

The 2004 season saw the Roos take out the premiership, thumping Bristol 28.20.188 to 1.6.12.

In 2005, the Roos competed in both the BARFL Premiership and the BARFL Regional competitions, though they failed to make the grand final in either league.


INTERNATIONAL TOUR MATCHES

In early 2005, the Roos toured to Atlanta in the USA , defeating the home town Atlanta Kookaburras . They have also competed in Perpignan against a French Selection and in Denmark at the Sheep Stations Cup .
