History

The club was originally established in 1933 when a team from the village of Charnock Richard joined the Chorley Alliance League, a Sunday league competition. [2] However, after winning the league in 1947–48, the club folded after attempting to run two teams during the following season. [2] The club was reformed in 1955 and rejoined the Chorley Alliance League, winning the title in 1956–57, [3] before switching to the Preston & District League. They won the league in 1960–61 and went on to win three successive league titles between 1966–67 and 1968–69. [3] They won their final Preston & District League title in 1989–90, [2] and also spent some time in the Bolton Combination. [2]

In 1993 the club moved up to Division Two of the West Lancashire League. They were runners-up in 1994–95, earning promotion to Division One. [4] After finishing as Division One runners-up in 1996–97, they won the division in 1997–98. [4] The division was renamed the Premier Division in 1998, and they were runners-up again in 1998–99 and 2001–02, before winning the title in 2002–03. [4] After finishing as runners-up in 2005–06, the club won the Premier Division and Wilf Carr Memorial Cup in 2008–09, and went on to win four consecutive Premier Division titles between 2011–12 and 2014–15. [4] A second-place finish in 2015–16 saw the club promoted to Division One of the North West Counties League. [4] In their first season in Division One they were runners-up, earning promotion to the Premier Division. In 2021–22 the club won the league's Challenge Cup, beating Cammell Laird 5–0 in the final.
