2020–Present In 2020, the leagues were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Pirates did not make their expected debut in the SGB Championship (second division). The following season in 2021, the Pirates finished top of the regular season table and secured a place in the playoff semi finals. Poole duly won their playoff semi final against Leicester and met Glasgow in the final. Shortly afterwards the Pirates won the division 2 Knockout Cup for the third time in their history and then completed the league and cup double by winning the Play off final. The following season in 2022, the success continued as the team dominated again, winning the SGB Championship and Knockout Cup 'double double'.
