The early 2000s saw a dip in numbers, and the club was briefly demoted to Division III for the 2005-06 season, but the team bounced back quickly, earning promotion in just one season, and reaching the Northeast final of the DIII playoffs, only to lose narrowly to a Wolfhounds side that would ultimately contest the national D3 championship.
Once back in Division II the club immediately made its presence felt by winning the NERFU Cup in the Spring of 2007, and they reached the finals of the same tournament the following year.
