History

The club was established in 1920 as Loxwood and Alfold and joined the Rudgwick & District League.

[1] They won the league title, the League Cup and the District Cup in 1953–54. [2] When the league folded in the late 1960s, the club transferred to the West Sussex League. [2] They won the Tony Kopp Cup in 1970–71 and were Division Two North champions 1980–81 and 1993–94, [3] also winning the Surrey County Lower Junior Cup in 1988. [2] The club won the Premier Division title in 2002–03 and the Chichester Charity Cup in 2010–11. [3]
