The Gators are most known for their three-peat of two-day premierships in the 1997/98, 1998/99 and 1999/00 seasons. This period of two-day cricket dominance continued at the start of the new millennium with a further two premierships coming in 2001/02 and 2003/04.
Sandgate created Queensland Premier Cricket history by becoming the first Men's First Grade team to win three successive Twenty20 titles in 2015/16[permanent dead link], 2016/17[permanent dead link] and 2017/18[permanent dead link].
Since 2018, the Gators have faced challenges in maintaining consistent success, but have still secured several premierships. These include the Women’s First Grade T20 Max premiership in the 2023/2024 season, the Third Grade One-Day premiership in the 2022/2023 season, and back-to-back C1 Warehouse premierships in the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 seasons. These achievements have played an important role in developing the club’s players, particularly its emerging young talent.
In recent seasons, the Gators have emerged as leading contenders in underage competitions. This success includes an Under-19 premiership in the 2024/2025 season, led by captain Kane Neilsen, as well as the Lord Taverners Under-17 Championship in the 2025/2026 season.
In 2026, Sandgate-Redcliffe junior Steven Hogan was selected in Australia’s Under-19 squad for the ICC Men’s Under-19 World Cup. Widely regarded as one of the country’s leading prospects at this level, Hogan has drawn comparisons with Australian great Ricky Ponting. Batting at number three in Australia’s opening match of the tournament, Hogan scored 115 from 111 deliveries, recording the first century of the competition. He is also recognised as one of Queensland’s most promising emerging players, a reputation reinforced by an outstanding 2025/2026 season in which he amassed 475 runs at an average of 67.86, including one century and four half-centuries, despite missing a significant portion of the season due to international commitments.
