Cygnet celebrate trouncing Sorell 21.15 (141) to 9.10 (64) in the 2004 grand final. During the seven season period when Tasmania's Southern Football League was reorganised into Premier and Regional divisions Cygnet was by some measure the most successful team at the latter level. A proudly local club, no fewer than eighteen of its 2004 premiership twenty-two came up through the junior ranks. Prior to entering the SthFL in 1998, Cygnet had enjoyed consistent success in the Huon FL, winning no fewer than 31 senior premierships in just under ninety seasons. The club also won the state country championship in 1947 and 1948.
