History
Addington FC joined the NFL in 1962, winning the championship in their second season. Before the 1969-season, they were renamed Durban Spurs. Although they won the league that season, it proved to be their last hurrah. By the start of the 1970-season, they had merged with Durban United to form Durban Spurs United.
