Lelo Saracens beat them in the 2015–16 final. Locomotive Tbilisi did the same two seasons later. In between, in 2016–17, Jiki beat Batumi 28–22 to win the Didi 10, the top tier of Georgian rugby.
That title is the whole of the trophy cabinet. Batumi, Locomotive and Bolnisi Kochebi remain the opponents they meet most often.
The team has played since 2001 in yellow and black. Its name is the Georgian word for panther, and a stylised panther's head is on the crest. The Gori Rugby Stadium holds 3,000.
Tornike Jalaghonia was at Gori from 2016 to 2018, so he was there for the title and the final defeat that followed. He then moved to Biarritz Olympique and Provence Rugby in France, won more than 40 caps for Georgia and played at the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Vaso Lobzhanidze, who also played in that World Cup, went through the club and on to CA Brive. Scrum-half Mikheil Alania followed from 2018 to 2020 and joined Stade Aurillacois and then RC Vannes.
Jiki remain a semi-professional side in the Didi 10. Their task is to get back to a final, having last played in one in 2018.
