The Devonshire Colts Football Club was established in 1958, due to the efforts of Mr. Edward DeJean and Mr. Braxton Burgess. These men were members of the Howard Academy, aka Skinners School, in Bermuda. DeJean was the principal while Burgess was a physical education teacher.[citation needed]
Following their school level successes, the Howard Academy team moved on to participating in practice matches with local men's football teams which subsequently led to the application and entry into the Bermuda Football Union.[citation needed]
The Devonshire Colts play on Police Field, where formerly police dogs were exercised.
Colts were once again relegated to the Bermuda First Division in 2017,[3] but this time with the fewest points(4) total in the history of the Bermuda Premier Division
Rivalriesedit
Devonshire Colts main rivalries are Devonshire Cougars and St. Georges Colts. Devonshire Colts fans consider B.A.A as a distant rivalry as they are not located close to each other. Additionally, a strong rivalry with Devonshire Cougars dates back to when both clubs were founded with "Devonshire' in their name. More recently a rivalry with B.A.A has grown following repeated clashes in competitions.[citation needed]
