    In 1945 the Cannon Hill Stars were formed and operated until 1948. In 1945 the side went through the season undefeated and were the first to do so in Brisbane. The major highlight was Ron Stanton, the halfback, who received the “Courier Mail” Player of the Year Award. In 1952 the current Cannon Hill Stars was reformed and continues its operation until today. Undoubtedly the club has maintained a much larger player base in previous years when teams were fielded in most age groups. The club maintains its objective of giving local youth the opportunity to play Rugby League competitively. It is hoped that, in the near future, this club will again become the hub of Rugby League activities for the Cannon Hill, Morningside, Balmoral and Murrarie areas. Their most famous past player is Wally Lewis but several household names like Bob Lindner, Chris McKenna, and Graham Quinn were also past members of the club.
