In the years since it's formation the club has gained the admiration and respect of many people by it's positive involvement within the community and for it's development of Lacrosse as a sport. Only Professor William Henry Bragg played lacrosse for the club. He also played a leading part in introducing lacrosse to South Australia, and there exists an excellent photograph of the North Adelaide team, taken soon after his arrival in Adelaide and which he captained for some years. He also played for the first lacrosse club in South Australia – the Adelaide LC.
