After many league successes over the years, Patriots finally got their hands on the knockout cup beating Puddletown Wanderers in the final at the Victoria Hotel by 22-pins.

Patriots last knockout cup final came in 2013 which ended in defeat to Greyhound Wanderers. Although they had yet to win the cup the Patriots did win the Plate twice, 2008 and 2015.

Patriots were formed in 1992 playing at the Three Compasses, Charminster on a Thursday. They topped Section G in their debut season and followed that by winning Section F in 93-94. It was a move across the village for the 94-95 season as they set up home at the New Inn, Charminster. Patriots finished fourth in their two seasons in Section E, but when promoted to Section D for the 96-97 season they finished top, playing home matches at the White Hart on a Wednesday. The Patriots had just one season in the C section, finishing second. The 98-99 season saw the team move back to Charminster at the Inn for All Seasons, Patriots finished in the bottom half of the Section B table, but by the following season they were heading to Section A after finishing top of Section B in 2000. Patriots had a new home for 00-01 season as they moved to their current alley, Goldies, on a Thursday to start life in Section A, and in their debut season in the top section they finished as runners up. Patriots were unfortunate to lose their place in Section A finishing joint third from bottom in their second season. It was just one season back in Section B as they bounced back winning Section B for a second time. Once back in the top league the Patriots established themselves as one of the top sides, finishing runners up in 2008 and then becoming Section A champions in 2009. The glory years followed for Patriots and they won Section A for four seasons on the trot, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, while they were runners up in 2016 and 2017.
