In the fall of 1921, the newly established Conshohocken Athletic Association took over sponsorship of the team. The new Association was formed as a community based organization with the purpose of promoting and supporting outdoor athletics and had the full support of Conshohocken Athletic Club.
Conshohocken won the mythical Schuylkill County championship in 1914, 1915 and 1916, before laying claim to the eastern Pennsylvania championship in 1919.
