History

Established in 1922 and played in the Surrey County Intermediate League (Western). [1] During their early days the club played Hawley Youth Club on 3 November 1969 and this game entered the 2003 Guinness Book of Records, for the most number of booked players, as all 22 players and a linesman were booked. [2]

The club joined the Combined Counties Football League Division One for the start of the 2005–06 campaign. [3] At the end of the 2007–08 season the club resigned from the Combined Counties League to join the newly formed Surrey Elite Intermediate League. [4] [5] In 2011 they took voluntary relegation to the Surrey County Intermediate League (Western) Premier Division. [6] Their first season back in the Surrey County Intermediate League (Western) saw them finish bottom of the division and relegated to Division One. [6] [7]

The 2012–13 season saw the club finish as champions of Division one, and return to the Premier Division. [8]
