GOMBAK UNITED
Initially known as Redhill Rangers, the club was renamed Gombak United when it joined the S.League in 1998.
The Bulls pulled out of the S.League after the 2002 season due to financial difficulties but returned in 2006 having moved from the Bukit Gombak Stadium to the Jurong West Stadium.
They had their best season in 2008, winning their first and only piece of silverware as they beat the Super Reds 2-1 in the final of that year’s League Cup.
A year later, they recorded their best S.League finish as they claimed third place behind champions SAFFC and runners-up Tampines Rovers.
Facing financial trouble again, Gombak pulled out of the S.League for a second time at the end of 2012.
Talk of a second comeback for the Bulls has surfaced in the decade since, but as of 2023, it has not materialised.
JURONG FC
Founded in 1975 as Jurong Town, Jurong FC dropped the “town” from their name as they joined the S.League for its second season in 1997.
The Cobras drew sizable crowds to their home matches at the Jurong East Stadium, with Singapore great V Sundramoorthy taking the helm as player-coach towards the end of his playing career.
While Jurong did not finish higher than fifth during their seven seasons in the S.League, they did reach the final of the Singapore Cup twice during Sundram’s tenure, losing to SAFFC in 1999 before falling to Tampines Rovers three years later.
Like Sembawang Rangers, Jurong FC bowed out of the S.League in 2003.
