Grafton Athletic

In their first season (1914) they came 4th with a 3 win and 6 loss record. That same season they also fielded a side in the second grade who finished towards the bottom of the table, and 2 sides in the fourth grade who also finished down the table.

In 1915 they won the senior championship with a 7 win, 1 draw, and 2 loss record. They defeated City Rovers in the final 10 points to 5 in front of 4000 spectators at Victoria Park.[3] They were led by the talented Karl Ifwersen who was the competition's top point scorer and Dougie McGregor. George Iles who later went on to play for New Zealand also played for Grafton in this 1915 season. Bob Mitchell played with them from 1914 to 1919 after transferring from City Rovers during the 1914 season. Tom Haddon also joined the side in their inaugural season and was part of the committee and selection committee. He played 2 seasons before departing for the war. Ifwersen top scored in the senior competition in the 1914, 15, and 16 seasons. The 1915 win was to be their only title.

In the 1915 season they also fielded a handful of junior teams. Their second grade side finished last, their fourth grade team withdrew after 2 weeks, though this was not uncommon in the war years due to many players enlisting in the military. Their fifth grade side also struggled though they improved later in the season registering a win over Manukau, and a draw with North Shore Albions.

Ernie Herring transferred from rugby in 1919 and was to play for them for two seasons before departing for the Maritime club. Another Kiwi, Charles Woolley also spent three years playing for them from 1920 to 1922. In the remainder of the decade they struggled to be competitive and some years defaulted matches. In 1921 they asked for permission to change their name to "Fire Brigade Club".[4] They did not fare any better under their new name and finished last with a 1 win and 7 loss record in 1921 and again came last in 1922. Bill Te Whata switched codes and moved to Auckland joining the club whoever he only played 3 matches as he spent much of the season playing in representative matches including the New Zealand Māori tour of Australia where he played 9 matchs. This was to be the last year that the Grafton Athletic/Fire Brigade club played.

In the mid 1920s the Maritime club which had changed its name to Athletic took on the name 'Grafton Athletic' before they eventually amalgamated with Kingsland, and then they later amalgamated with Marist Old Boys and ceased to exist as a stand-alone club.

The Grafton Athletic/Fire Brigade club finished after 9 seasons in the first grade competition with a 22 win, 2 draw, 59 loss all-time record, scoring 715 points and conceding 1,334.

The point scoring lists are compiled from matches played in matches from the first grade championship, the Roope Rooster and Phelan Shield. One off matches and exhibition matches are not included.
