They were originally formed in 1926 but folded in 1960 with the club re-forming in 1983. They unfortunately folded once again in November 2015 due to a lack of committee members with their 8–0 thrashing at the hands of Easthouses Lily on 7 November 2015, being their final match.[1]
Their home ground was Humbug Park, its unusual name deriving from a disused pit of the former Cuttlehill Colliery on which site the ground is located.[2]
