In the 1996/97 and 1998/99 seasons , the Northerns were able to achieve success for the first time when they each won the Standard Bank League. In the 2001/02 season succeeded again a second place in the Currie Cup. In the 2003/04 season, the provincial teams were merged and Northers formed the Titans together with Easterns.
