In 1984 they finished sixth out of fourteen teams on sixteen points, three points above Paionia and three below Munaio, winning six and drawing four of their thirteen games.

Records are again lacking or incomplete, through to 2003 [2] and whilst it is known that Kolofo'ou continued to compete (as they lost in the final of the 1998 Inter-club Knockout Championship to Lotoha'apai [6] ), the next recorded appearance of the club in the Tonga Major League is in the 2003 season, when they finished fifth out of ten teams, below Nautoka on goal difference and four points above Funga'onetaka, winning five and drawing one of their nine games. [7]
They were still competing in 2009 and although their league position is not known, they are known to have been competing in the Tonga Cup. [8] The most recent season for which records exist for their participation is 2010–11 where they finished third, losing 1–0 to Marist in the semi-final of the play-off rounds at the end of the regular season, before beating Longoteme 2–0 in the third place play-off.

The Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, sometimes referred to as the European Fairs Cup, Fairs Cities' Cup, or simply as the Fairs Cup, was a European football competition played between 1955 and 1971.

The competition was the idea of FIFA vice-president and executive committee member Ernst Thommen, Italian Football Federation president and FIFA executive committee member Ottorino Barassi, and the English Football Association general secretary and president of FIFA from 1961 to 1974, Stanley Rous. As the name suggests, the competition was set up to promote international trade fairs.

Early competitions also featured a one city, one team rule. After 1964, it was sometimes referred to as the Runners-up Cup, with teams now qualifying based on league position. The winning team received the Noel Beard Trophy, named for the cutler who designed it.
