Broadbeach's 2004 coach, Craig O'Brien.
Despite having been in existence since the early 1960s, the Broadbeach Football Club has only competed at state league level for just over a decade. Nevertheless, it has shown steady improvement throughout its brief involvement, and in 2004, under the coaching of Craig O'Brien, it won 14 of its 18 home and away matches and went on to reach the preliminary final before losing to Morningside.
In 2005, the Cats were one of eight inaugural members of Queensland football's new 1st Division set-up, and they once again reached the finals. As in 2004, it was Morningside which brought their premiership ambitions to an end, winning a 1st semi final that was closely fought until early in the last term by 45 points.
The 2005 season brought some welcome prestige to the Cats as former Southport ruckman David Round won the club's first Grogan Medal.
In 2006 they qualified for the finals but, in a near carbon copy of the 2004 season, had their premiership hopes wrecked by Morningside at the 1st semi final stage. A year later they narrowly failed to procure finals participation after winning 9 of their 19 home and away matches. Since then their fortunes have dipped and in 2010 they finished above only the winless Western Magpies on the ten team premiership ladder.
