History
[edit | edit source]They had originally planned to join for the 2020 season, however the opportunity arose to join a year earlier and the clubs approved the earlier entry.[6] In addition to the two founder clubs, they also used some players from the third local team in the city, Oshawa Turul.[7] Oshawa Kicks had previously been part of the partnership with L1O club Durham United FA.[8] They are one of three clubs representing Durham in League1 Ontario.[9]
The club's first team entered the League1 Ontario women's division in 2019.[10] They played their first match on May 4 against DeRo United.[11] On July 20, they set a team record with a 10-0 victory over North Mississauga SC.[12] They finished in a three-way tie for fifth place in their debut season (ultimately finishing sixth after tie-breakers) and advanced to the playoffs,[13] where they were eliminated in the first round by eventual champions FC London.[14] Their second season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the cancellation of the entire league season.[15] The club did not return in 2021.
