British Universities American Football League 's Southern Conference-Southern Division. Portsmouth entered the league at the beginning of the 2006/07 season, going 1-6-1. The Destroyers picked up their first and only win of that season in Reading, an overtime touchdown run by RB Richard Shiel finished the game with a scoreline of 12-6.The 2007/08 season saw the Portsmouth Destroyers denied playoff football in only their second year in the league by a mere 4 points. Scorelines of 7-8 and 12-15 at the Brighton Tsunami and playoff-bound Reading Knights respectively cost the Portsmouth University outfit dearly, denying them their first opportunity of playoffs.
The 2008/09 season will be a telling year for the young and ambitious Portsmouth Destroyers, with playoffs well within their reach.
