- Football at Appleby has a long history, although in the early years the terms Football and Rugby were used interchangeably. Appleby's greatest period of success in football was during the 1960s when the Varsity team achieved a string of almost unbroken winning seasons. The best seasons were 1966 and 1967 when the team went undefeated in interscholastic play. The success of the 1967 team led to Appleby joining CISAA. Appleby's Varsity Football team achieved its next and last undefeated season in 1985. This was the school's only CISAA championship for First team football. Appleby ended the Football programme after the 2004 season.
