HISTORY:

Entered Division 3 South in 2003, as Loughborough Students. Changed name to "Cardinals" in 2004.

Won the Midlands division in 2006, but declined promotion.

Following the departure of coach Martin Ford, and the loss of key player Rodney Bryn-Hussey, they struggled in the highly-competitive EBL3 North, and two defaults added to their woes as they finished next to last, and a year after winning the title were relegated to EBL4.
