History

The club was originally formed as Farnborough Covenanters in 1967, and initially played in the Woking and District League. [1] The 1980–81 season saw the club win the Division One title, and join the top division of the Woking and District league. [1] [2] The club was then renamed Covies to distinguish itself from the church youth group, which they had originally been formed from. [1] They then joined Division three of the Surrey Intermediate League (Western) for the start of the 1982–83 campaign. [1] The club progressed through the league gaining promotion to the top division at the end of the 1987–88 competition when they finished as Runners up in Division Two. [1] [2]

After nine seasons in the Surrey County Intermediate League they joined the newly formed Division Three of the Hampshire League in 1991. [3] In 1998 the club adopted its current name and moved to a new ground at Farnborough Gate, Ringwood Road. [1] [4] The following season saw them placed in Division Two as part of league re-organisation. [5] In 2000–01 they won the division and were promoted to Division One. [6] The club then finished as runners up the next season, but were not promoted to the premier division. [6]

The club again finished as runners up in Division one of the Hampshire league in the 2002–03 campaign, but this time they moved to the newly established Division Three of the Wessex League. [5] Their first season in the Wessex League saw the club, move to the Cody Sports & Social Club in February 2005 and gain promotion to Division Two after finishing third. [7] The 2007–08 season saw the club make their debut in the FA Vase in the First qualifying Round, but got beat by Chalfont St Peter 3–1. [5]

In 2010 they switched to Division One of the Combined Counties League, but their first season was a disaster as they finished bottom, and lost their home ground half way through the season. [8] [9] The club were then relegated and joined the Surrey Elite Intermediate League, and at a new home ground of Southwood Playing Fields at Rushmoor Community. [10] However the club were relegated again after only collecting three points in the whole season. [11] The club was then placed in the Surrey County Intermediate League (Western) Premier Division for the start of the 2012–13 campaign. [12]
