History

The Devonshire Colts Football Club was established in 1958, due to the efforts of Mr. Edward DeJean and Mr. Braxton Burgess. These men were members of the Howard Academy, aka Skinners School, in Bermuda. DeJean was the principal while Burgess was a physical education teacher.^{[citation needed]}

Following their school level successes, the Howard Academy team moved on to participating in practice matches with local men's football teams which subsequently led to the application and entry into the Bermuda Football Union.^{[citation needed]}

The Devonshire Colts play on Police Field, where formerly police dogs were exercised.

Colts were relegated to the Bermuda First Division in 2011,^[1] they returned to the Bermudian Premier Division after 4 years in for the 2015/16 season after beating St David's in March 2015.^[2]

Colts were once again relegated to the Bermuda First Division in 2017,^[3] but this time with the fewest points(4) total in the history of the Bermuda Premier Division
