History
The Portsmouth Dreadnoughts were founded in April 2012 by coach Simon O'Hara and three players, Pete Southwood, Ben Bell and David Bennett.[1] They had met whilst playing and coaching for the Solent Thrashers, but found that the travel considerations of a long drive to Southampton from Horndean were significant enough to make them look into how to keep playing American Football, but not at such a distance.[1]
The team's first game was played against the Plymouth Extreme.[3]
