History

[2] They won the league in its first season, also winning the league's Challenge Cup. [3] They were subsequently promoted to Division One of the Combined Counties League.

In 2012 the club merged with California, a youth football club established in 1975 in California in Berkshire, [1] changing its name to Eversley & California. [2] In 2013–14 they were Division One runners-up, [4] but were unable to take promotion due to restrictions on use of the floodlights at the ground. [5]
