History

A previous club named Grimsby Borough joined the Supreme Division of the Central Midlands League under the name Grimsby Ross in 1987. [2] [3] They finished bottom of the division in 1988–89, and were renamed Grimsby Borough at the end of the season. [2] After finishing bottom of the table again the following season, the club dropped into the Lincolnshire League. [4] In 1990–91 they were Lincolnshire League runners-up, but left the league after finishing fourth the following season. [5]

A new Grimsby Borough club was established in 2003, [6] joining the Lincolnshire League for the 2003–04 season. After finishing as runners-up in their first season, they joined the Premier Division of the Central Midlands League. [4] Despite finishing second in their first season in the league, they were not promoted to the Supreme Division. However, after finishing as runners-up again in 2006–07, they were promoted. [4] In 2007–08 the club finished twelfth in the Supreme Division and were admitted to Division One of the Northern Counties East League. In 2011–12 they won the league's Wilkinson Sword Trophy. [1] Although they finished bottom of the division in 2014–15, conceding 161 goals, they were not relegated back to step seven.
