Bankstown's half a dozen year stint in the New South Wales Australian National Football League was inglorious in the extreme.  Although the side managed to avoid the wooden spoon , it never managed to finish higher than 8th in a competition comprising between ten and twelve clubs. 

In 1963 Bankstown merged with Liverpool, but the move was not a success and the club finished last in what proved to be its only season.

In 1964, Liverpool-Bankstown merged with Parramatta to form the Southern Districts Football Club.  A new Bankstown club emerged in 1972, competing initially in the Sydney Football Association, later on in the Sydney Football League as Bankstown Sports, and then in the SAFA once more until 1995.  In 1996, Bankstown and Liverpool (as Southern Districts were by this stage known) amalgamated to form the South West Sydney Football Club.
