The mascot for the "Saints" is "the Champ" a footballer on the run with ball under the arm and the other arm outstreached, dressed in his football gear with a halo above his head.
Prior to the formation of the Northern Tasmanian Football Association the club competed in the Tasmanian Amateur Football League.
The club as the name suggests was originally formed as an offshute for past school boys to continue playing organised sport.
The club continues to foster a relationship with St Patricks College, but not all players are recruited from the school.
The club is situated in Prospect Vale on a lower oval of the schools grounds.
The oval has adequate lighting facilities to host night games.
The oval is unique in that it has a very sandy soil and is very difficult for grass to grow at the top end of the oval. The oval has been used as a conceptual model for urban salinity in Launceston, Tasmania.
