This team entered the Western Ontario League composed of St. Thomas, Ingersoll, Tillsonburg and Simcoe in 1903.

From the June 5, 1904 Simcoe Reformer:
"The local nine and a coach of fans journeyed to Tillsonburg to open the Western Ontario League. The stores were all closed up and after both teams in uniform had paraded the principal streets behind a band that adjourned to the fair ground where an immense crowd assembled. Tillsonburg won the game 8-7."
