Powerlines promised to be every bit of what their name implied in the year 1968 when they made their first entry into the first Division of the N.F.L. They were formed in the year 1959 but were known then as Velocitas F.C. with their headquarters at Nigel in the Eastern Transvaal under the chairmanship of a Mr. Smart.

They changed the name to Powerlines when they entered the N.F.L. Third Division in 1962. It took them five years to gain admittance to the top league but on the way they created a record when they won the Second Division with 38 points gained out of a possible forty and scored a hundred goals with only three against.

In their promotion year of 1967 they also won the K.O. Cup.

The present Chairman, Dr Manganni, was determined to make a strong bid for premier honours and gathered together such players as Walter da Silva, Forio, Neville Scott and Uriol. The administrative, managerial and coaching side was handled by Jimmy Williams, Mr. Dotto and secretary J. Anderson
