Since their formation in 1997 the Eagles have failed to the Mininera and District Football League’s top prize of a senior grade premiership. However, in recent seasons they have been getting progressively closer, and in 2007 and 2008 got as far the grand final, losing on both occasions to Tatyoon. The club’s reserves have made the breakthrough, however, as they claimed the 2008 flag with an 11.12 (78) to 4.5 (29) grand final defeat of Tatyoon. A year later they repeated their success, this time at the expense of Penshurst.

Prior to merging with Macarthur in 1997 Hawkesdale had enjoyed senior grade premiership success in the MDFL on a couple of occasions, in 1977 and 1988. Macarthur meanwhile had competed in the South West District Football League since the competition’s inception in 1970, winning flags in 1970, 1981, 1988 and 1995.
