History

The club was established in 1976 and initially played in the Hounslow & District League. [2] They later transferred to the West Middlesex League before joining the Middlesex County League in 1984. [2] [3] League restructuring in 1991 saw Division One reduced from 22 to 12 clubs and renamed the Premier Division, with Hanworth relegated to the renamed Division One. [3] However, a third-place finish in 1991–92 saw them promoted to the Premier Division. [3] In 1993–94 the club were relegated to Division One despite finishing eighth.

[6] They won the Division One Challenge Cup in 2006–07 and retained it the following season which also saw them end the season as Division One runners-up. [7] However, they were denied promotion due to their ground failing to meet the necessary criteria. [8] After completing the work during the 2008–09 season, they were promoted at the end of the season after finishing as runners-up again. [6]

In 2011–12 Hanworth won the Southern Combination Challenge Cup and retained the trophy the following season.
