Walsall Wizards entered EBL Division 3 (North) in 2003.
In 2004 they became the Black Country University of Wolverhampton.
Finished second in EBL3 Midlands in 2006, and retained their EBL3 status (in the North, this time) when EBL4 was introduced.
A second consecutive runners-up finish was followed by success in the Championship Final, securing promotion to EBL2.
A disappointing showing in a competitive second division saw Wolverhampton finish in last place, and they dropped straight back into Division 3.
